Dammit, we want you to tell us stuff! Stuff like what gaming gifts did you receive today?
This isn’t some marketing survey or whatever. It’s an emotional investment in you. Yes, we’re interesting in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know enough about us — more than you even want to, we’re sure. But, hey, we’d like to know about you, too.
Anyway, here’s today’s question…
Obvious one, really. What game-related gifts did you receive today?
Me? Well, since I’m writing this on Christmas Eve (What? You really think I’m working today?) I actually don’t know. I suspect none, considering my family and friends realise I probably already have any games or consoles I would want. But who knows? Maybe someone will finally get me that Japanese Sega Saturn I’ve been craving… Or maybe not.

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 12:16 PMOuh, im getting a Saturn soon! I didn’t get any gifts of the game, but I got my little sisters Mario Party 8. Its annoying because every time we get to the monkey mini game it says disk error only on that mini game!

Saturday, December 26, 2009 at 10:41 AMHm… I can’t find anything on that exact problem, but this thread might be helpful: http://techforums.nintendo.com/nins/board/message?board.id=wii_tech&thread.id=24629
Unfortunately it seems either the game or wii might be defective, so you could have to contact nintendo to get this fixed.

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 10:22 PMatm im only running an ASUS AX300 (128mb), behind 4gb of ddr2 ram. My old graphics card fried on me 2 days after warranty ran out *sad panda*
So my pc in its current state lacks the ability to run DA:O on it =(. Otherwise yes, i would surely buy it @ $50
Alinos
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 11:41 PMim intrigued as to why JB is glorified Evil
there cheaper than EB and at least they dont pretend to know WTF there talking about
plus they actually stock PC games(well more than EB which only have MW2 Dragonage and the best of 1995)

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 12:59 PMI got a set of 3 cymbals for my Rock Band Drums :)

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 1:04 PMNo gaming gifts for me this year, but the best Christmas I ever had was the one when I got my PS1, I was really young at the time and I was at that age where you kind of start to not believe in Santa, but my parents were still doing the whole Santa thing. So yea I woke up in the morning kind of not feeling like being in the Christmas spirit, But when i was that ps1 and a few games under the Christmas tree it pretty much rekindled that spirit instantly (it’s funny how crash bandicoot and tekken will do that) I hadn’t really flat out told my parents what I wanted, but they knew a ps1 was what it was because I was pretty much glued to my SNES for years.
What really sucked is at the time our TV was so out of date that the connections of the PS1 didn’t work, we got a new TV a day later, so there I was a kid with a ps1 and I couldn’t play it for a whole day.

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 1:07 PMI should really start reading these for errors :(

Friday, December 25, 2009 at 1:06 PMNo gaming present for christmas, but for my birthday I am gettig my iPhone I already have (wierd but great family) and 500 smackeroonies which I’ll get a PSP with. It took awhile to figure out I wanted it, but your article on PSP games in 2010 convinced me (thanks).
Happy Holidays!
Tomasz
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 1:09 PMA copy of Madworld on Wii, which I can’t wait to give a try.
A copy of Bioshock on 360, which I can’t wait to replay for a third time, only on 360 instead of PC :D
And a copy of Tekken: Dark Resurrection on PSP….. which I can’t play cause I lost my PSP on Wednesday while Christmas shopping at Miranda :(
2/3 isn’t so bad I guess =(
My cousin also got a copy of World of Warcraft and all expansions from me. She was so happy she was almost crying.
Tell us if you did get anything game-related for Christmas David :D
D
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 5:03 PMMad world on pc is a piece of hack and slash funness that just keeps giving. I loved it.
As for bioshock. I loved the game but wont be giving 2K any more of my money with the way they screwed Us aussies over with regional pricing through steam for borderlands.
Finlay Downes
Saturday, December 26, 2009 at 10:45 AMOh jeez, that sucks about the PSP. Have you talked to lost property? I lost a folder with a lot of drawings a while back in a westfield, and even though security didn’t have it they were extremely helpful, and I eventually found it again.

Ben Latimore
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 2:56 PMHmm…gaming related gifts. Actually, unbelievably, none. I couldn’t believe it myself. I’m hoping to buy myself a PlayStation 3 the next time I’m down shopping, so that’ll be my gift to myself.
I hope I win the Big Pile of Crap, that way, I don’t need to pay for some startup games.
Luke
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 2:57 PMMerry Christmas Ya’ll…
I got 2 PSP games, God of War and Ridge Racer (not very good ones but im happy) and a $50 EB games voucher… Im happy.
sdf
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 3:01 PMI got a hangover.
Stephen Alexander
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 3:37 PMI’m much in the same position as you David, I already own pretty much every game I want, so my mum just gave me a couple of hundred dollars to pick something out for myself. I did receive a kick-ass predator shuriken from my brother though. Given the upcoming Aliens Vs Predator game, I think that counts as gaming-related. :P
David Brady
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 3:52 PMMerry Christmas everybody,
I received a sony bt headset, dual charging stand,
a sony Lan case to take my ps3 around to mates in style, Dog tags, OPS year subscription, $130 worth of Eb vouchers :D
Score !!!
Jeremy
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 4:47 PMI got a 32″ full HD tv to go in my room so i can finally play my ps3 in all its HD goodness in my room. I also got a copy of lego batman, because they know I love batman, aren’t they sweet?
Adrian Verna
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 5:52 PMMy little brother got WiiSports Resort, my older brother got Assasin’s Creed II and I got… nothing.
I did get a $100 bucks, which will go towards FFXIII when it comes out. Oh and a Futurama boxset, which was pretty cool, although has nothing to do with games.
Nick
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 6:03 PMi got ninja gaiden 2.
seriously though, GET IT!!!
i haven’t really read anything about it but it is SO brutal, that it’s actually funny!
you can leave enemies bloody on the ground with no head, arms, legs in just one combo.
anyone seen monty pythons: holy grail? that’s black knight style.
2 words to sum up:
EPIC BRUTALITY
