So what games have you got for Christmas or are going to pick up?

I going to pick up FTL, Dayz, System Shock 2 Super Hexagon and Shadowgrounds (Those last 2 cos there like 20p lol).

I've bought Rage two days ago. Money went to charity
Will be opening Christmas presents later, who knows what I'll find!

Should the Omnisiah bless me with a steady connection i intend to download Path of Exile and War Thunder, both seem fun. I have to get Total War: Rome 2 and Company of Heroes 2 somewhere down along the line.

The new 3DS Zelda game as well as the three free games that came with my new graphics card (though I gave two of them to my sister as I'm still on a Ubisoft boycott).

The girlfriend got me Injustice. Only problems is that I need to get a second controller so we can play together! She wasn't aware that my cat spilled water on one of my controllers a couple weeks ago, and that it didn't work anymore

Finally got Blood Dragon. Played it for hours on end. Very pleased.

Got the Baldurs Gate 2 EE and have been enjoying it greatly! Heaps of fun

I got Counter Strike 1 Anthology. The memories

I got Oblivion. Its really good. Its great to have new places for my Nord character to run around after playing Skyrim. I like how clean the graphics are. The different architecture of the cities is amazing. I'm having a blast just jumping from rooftop to rooftop like a viking ninja. The jumping is out of control fun. It's also fun to shoot fireballs.

Try randomly punching an NPC when in a city. Seriously, it turns into a life or death game of tag with city guards and if I recall correctly, the buildings make for some impressive cover. Some buildings you may be able to climb on (just remember to save before punching someone!).

Got a gift card that I used to buy Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations. Also got a game called Alice: Madness Returns that I'm thinking of trying.

I got GTA V, Aliens: Colonial Marines (it was reduced from £45 to £5, it would be stupid not to) Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, and Call of Duty Ghosts, all for PS3.

Put GTA V in and my faithful, 60GB PS3 that I've had since RELEASE DAY in the UK, finally kicks the proverbial bucket.

Oof, rough! My launch PS3 bought it about a year ago. I wasn't too upset with it since they're so cheap, but I hated that I lost my save data and my online pass for Space Marine. Luckily, the trophies carried over.

Save data loss? 0.0 Is this what happens with the infamous Yellow Light? I thought it just broke but the HDD was fine 0.0

Yeah, mine completely crapped out. I couldn't even eject the disk I had inside it. Since I didn't have PS Plus, all my save data was specifically on that system HDD.

My brother got a second hand model which swallowed MY (b*****!) AVP Extinction. Thankfully I was able to retrieve GTA 5 but the console is fethed.

I'm heading to GAME to see if they will fix it cheap by some chance, or know anyone who could. Hopefully a new model, with the PS4 out, will be cheap. Like £150 cheap. Maybe my parents will be awesome and get me it for my birthday or after exams are over in June.

Got a Vita and Killzone Mercenary, Christmas money paid for Metal Gear HD Collection and Dragons Crown. Technically also for Christmas (since they could only be played on the Vita) PS plus and other offers yeilded Wipeout 2048, Littlebigplanet Vita, Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush.

Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity (loved it), Terraria (loved it), Outlast (loved it), Metal Gear Rising (fun, but repetitive.)

My friend gave me Ride To Hell: Retribution 1% A day later I returned it to gamestop and asked for my money back. They told me no. I threw it outside and have yet to see it. It was so bad. That It doesn't exist to me. I never got it. My friend got angry because they wanted to see my reaction. I told them. "My Reaction is, is that if you gave me an empty box, it would gave me more entertainment than what you actually gave me."

And I got to play Call Of Duty Ghosts

Ratchet and Clank 3 on PS2 - completely out of the blue!
I loved that game when I was in school, it's a wonderful feeling to play one of those older games and realise that they really were great, and it's not just nostalgia!
