What's Happening

Holiday Haul: Were You Naughty Or Nice?

Happy holidays to all, and to all a good gaming night! By now now most of you have opened your presents, and hopefully recieved more than socks or coal. Since you frequent a game site, I'm guessing many of you put games on your lists. The Game Informer crew would love to hear about your holiday haul, even if it isn't necessarily game related. Feel free to dive into your holiday experience (I shoveled the driveway six times over the last two days, got my COD kill to death ratio up to 1.32, and discovered the joys of the Nespresso machine). Since this is a festive time of the year, no negative comments (unless someone was gifted Rogue Warrior or an Imagine game).

  • Got me a motorcycle! No games though.

  • My family didn't get me anything game related so I'm treating myself to Wii points to by ssb64 off of virtual console

  • Honda Shadow aero 1100cc, black.

    And I just beat Mass Effect 1, for the first time.

    :O It was awesome...

  • Tanner you r sooooooooooooo lucky

  • I gave a lot of games, received Zelda Spirit Tracks.  Got my son his own PS3, mostly so I can have mine all to myself.  The usual other stuff, the socks, sweaters, etc.  I hope everyone has a Happy and safe New Year and beyond.  Welcome 2010.

  • i got a PS3 that was bundled with inFamous and Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, and got Resistance: Fall of Man, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and Modern Warfare 2

  • I got Left 4 Dead 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and the Beatles Rock Band! And the special edition Rogue Warrior. You know, the one with the Dick action figure and the artbook:Drawing of Dick.

  • God of War Collection, Assassin's Creed 2, Guitar Hero 5 guitar kit, Shatter voucher, and my late-to-the-party Rock Band 2 full band kit and Bioshock.

    Got the gf New Super Mario Bros Wii, Sports Resort + one extra motion plus, and Prof Layton 2.

    And I'm not even finished with Resistance 2 from last Christmas. I got caught up with all the massive releases this year and held off playing the Resistance series until now. I have to say I was slightly disappointed with the Fall of Man and majorly disappointed with Retribution, but Resistance 2 is excellent. Can't wait for Resistance 3 I think maybe they'll finally have everything nailed down where they can go all out in all departments.

  • Recieved Brutal Legend, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, UP - all for the 360.  Little Big Plant PSP and God of War collection.  I got the wife a Wii and New Super Mario Bros.  (we've been playing it when we had time today.  Totally fun.)  

    Got a ton of blu-ray movies.  (Watching Star Trek VI as I type).  And recieved a VOX guitar amp from the wife.  

    New 5 mo. old son recieved new clothes - the fatty keeps on growing however he was the best gift this year albeit 5 months early.

    I hope everyone else had a very merry Christmas.

    (btw - what was up with Microsofts totally PC "happy holidays" message on XBOX live?  no-one had the cahones to say Merry Christmas or happy Hanukkah?)

  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the only game I raked in this year. I did get a ballin new snowboard and a lot of dough. Time to get the SNES fixed!

  • Got the PS3 slim, bluetooth headset, charge as you play cord, and i'm getting 3 games l8r tonight came back home to rest and recharge.

  • i got a car and games so this the best christmas i have ever had in my life so far

  • Got lots of money that I'll be using to buy Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, and lots of MS Points. Probably rounding out my preorder for Mass Effect 2 as well.

  • I didn't get any games but did get money so tomorrow going to get some.

    But i did get a Washburn hollowbody so awesome.

    Tanner i also just beat mass effect for the first time a couple days ago kept putting it off, so great. hope to finish another couple characters before the second one comes out

  • I got resident evil 4 for ps2.

  • I got Zelda spirit tracks, yay! ^_^

  • Only game I got was Infamous, but a got a $50 PSN card (which I'm gonna buy Flower, Cuboid (I love me some puzzle games), and Pixeljunk Shooter, and save the rest for DLC (still hesitant if the first free Heavy Rain DLC is worth me pre-ordering it if I don't like it).  Also got 2 $20 Nintendo Point cards (one for my DSi and one for my Wii).  

    Non game related stuff I got some slippers, 2 shirts with funny sayings (one I'm wearing says "all the good jobs start before I get up", which is true considering how much I sleep in XD), 2 jackets (one heavy, and a light Pittsburgh Steeler jacket since my cousin was on their practice team for a year and actually got a ring when they won the Super Bowl).

    From other members of my family I got 3 cards with money (which they all spelled my name differently O_o) and gift cards to the movie theater and Hastings.  I didn't feel like asking my parents for an Xbox 360 since I'm still happy with my PS3, but meh.  Still an overall good christmas.
