Title: What game should I get for christmas?
Post by: RichG on December 05, 2001, 03:19:30 PM
Ok I\'ve already got Tony Hawks 3 for christmas but I want another game.

Heres the shortlist.

Silent Hill 2: Loved the first one got major hopes for the second one. The demo seemed good.

J&D: Not keen on platformers as such anymore but I have really liked them in the day. Super Mario World springs to mind. I don\'t mind giving this game a whirl I suppose.

TMB: This game is finally coming out in the UK. Haven\'t played any of the original games and car combat sounds fairly good.

DMC: Everyone says its amazing but it just looks like a glorified shooting game (ZOE springs to mind) Probably just because im not informed thats all.

Baulders Gate: I had real high hopes for this game until it turned out that the PS2 version was more action orientated. A bit like Heros of Might and Magic. Still seems good though.


I thinking Silent Hill 2 but what do you guys think ?

lol, Silent Hill 2 isn\'t a game i\'d feel comfortable playing on a happy day like christmas.

I\'m getting SSX Tricky for Christmas cuz\' it sets the mood better.

FFX isnt out in the UK till next yr.

I\'m in the same situation mate, just got bond, pes and smackdown 3! gettin THPS3 for xmas, but i want J&D, SH2, TM:B, SSX Tricky, Airblade and WRC.

What do you reccomend?? I had the 1st SSX, is it still worth getting Tricky??

Nevermind, you have the first, so you have a good Snowboard title.

Just get Devil May Cry or MGS2.

do not compare these two games

BG: DA is very good at being an action RPG

Well like you said you are in the same situation as me. :) I didn\'t add Tricky to the list because im a bit sour about that game. I like you had the first one and eventually sold it. The continuous cornering slowdown really got on my nerves. Although Tricky is meant to get rid of this I still don\'t think getting a game that has its courses redone and like 1 or 2 new tracks is worth it over the other titles which are now out in the UK.

Been playing the Airblade demo for ages. The game rocks! Infact I only went for THPS3 because I loved the first two so much. So it was mainly a franschise thing. Im not going to get both they are both too similar.

Get TM:B it should be a very awesome game.  I just got TM:B today (cant play till christmas) I have Twisted Metal 2 (wasnt worth getting any of the other ones after that) that was made by the creators of TM:B (#3 and #4 weren\'t).  The game as a lot of replay value and plus its great freezing someone and then ramming them and watching them blow up.  

Just get it, you wont regret it.

Well as for me, I\'m getting MGS2, Devil May Cry, GTA3, and Soul Reaver 2.

I\'m also waiting for NBA2K2... I could get it for DC but I rather get the superior version.

Devil May Cry probably isn\'t a bad choice, but I beat it in 2 days without the very easy mode turned on. It\'s fun and the graphics are great. It\'s ashame you can\'t get MGS2 or FFX. Cause that would definatley be on my X-mas wish list if I didn\'t already have one, and the other reserved.

I would have to say TM:B, that game is so sweet, DMC is good but I doubt you\'ll get as much fun out of it, but if you could both that would be cool, I haven\'t played Jak and Daxter yet, I think I\'m gonna ask for it for christmas
