Have You Ever Received A Game You Didn’t Know You Wanted Until You Had It?
It’s the holiday season, which means a lot of people are getting presents. Many of those presents will be video game related. Some of those will be games you want, and maybe some of those will be games you don’t want. My question is, have you ever gotten a game you didn’t even know you wanted until you had it?
For me it was Golden Sun for the Game Boy Advance. I had dabbled in a few turn-based RPGs, but none had really grabbed me. I had seen the commercials for Golden Sun, and they looked cool, but I didn’t think it would interest me.
My father bought me the game as a Christmas present based on feedback he had heard or read, and it ended up sucking me in. I never would have pursued the game on my own, but I am glad that it was given to me.
What about you? Have you ever received a game as a gift you ended up loving despite your prior assumptions?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
