My sister’s boyfriend is getting Company of Heroes 2 for Christmas from me.
I thought it’d be a good present to give him. 🙂
AC4 for WiiU. Can’t wait!
I’ve got WAAAAY too much of a backload to ask for more games for Christmas. Just grabbed The Last of Us a few weeks ago, so I’ll use the time off work to get through that.
I normally don’t get people to buy me games since I buy them all myself. Although, if there is a game I want to play, but know damn well that I’m too busy with other games to give it the right amount of time, I may leave it for my bornday or Axemas.
So this year I’m expecting Diablo 3 on 360. Although I’m also expecting some Warmachine Menoth units or Warjacks.
The boardgame Risk : The Dalek Invasion of Earth. A copy of AD&D – Heroes of the Lance for master system and Loaded for Sega Saturn.
Gran Turismo 6, I preordered it but at soon as it arrived the Wife grabbed it and wrapped it up, God damn it!
You should steal something of hers and wrap it up. Great present.
Gone one better, I’ve wrapped a box of sand. (Any fans of The “Get This” radio show will know the joke)
I would not be too surprised if I find a 2DS and Pokemon Y under the tree.
Maybe a better question would be:
What games does your missus not know you are getting this Christmas?
Nothing… Christmas already came with the PS4 release…
none!
i never get given games for christmas because the ones i want i usually have already picked up…
that and we’re not doing presents this year due to budgetery constraints
What’s your steam name? I’ll gift you something from my (small) library. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
naaw you don’t have to buddy, but you’re pretty awesome…
Steam name is my handle, you can find me in the kotaku australia group…
But seriously you don’t have to!
Sent you a friend request. Got a few games in my inventory and no one to give them to.
I’ve got
Frozenbyte Collection (Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, and Trine)
Frozen Synapse
Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter and
Serious Sam Classic: The Second Encounter
Also got a one spare gift key each for
Sanctum and
The Binding Of Isaac
Any of those you don’t have?
Got three discount coupons for 10% off Toki Tori 2 as well if anybody wants one
you guys are too nice and awesome!!!…
well i’ve always wanted to try Trine… but i feel bad for doing this to you guys, that was not the intend of the comment 😛
Hey, no problem, I’ve already got copies of all those games anyway, that’s why they’re in my inventory.
Frozenbyte Collection it is, not sure if I can gift it to you until you accept my FR, but I’ll give it a shot.
Merry Christmas man.
EDIT: I think it worked, let me know if you didn’t get it.
Consider it done mate, I’ll add you when I get home from work, and send you a list of what I have to choose from 🙂 ‘Tis the season!
Sent you a friend request, once you accept it I’ll send through some stuff 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and your family
You guys have honestly left me speechless… That is a very generous act of you! You’re completely awesome… Merry Christmas to you too, I wish you all the best
I’ve specifically asked for no gaming related pressies this year. I have too many games, too many! Oh the humanity.
Depends if anything is on Steamsale that I want. Otherwise I’ll buy myself Zelda: WWHD.
Im not 100% sure, but Im thinking an MTG: Theros Booster Box :o)
Skylanders Swap Force with a whole bunch of figures from my girlfriend. It’s my 6 year old nephews fault. I got intreagued buying them for his birthday.
The Skylanders games are great fun, but beware, once you start buying figures you’ll get hooked, and won’t be able to stop until you have them all. I’ve got all the figures from the first game, all but one from the second, and all the ones they’ve released so far for Swap Force, as well as the Swap Force game itself on 360, PS3, and Xbone.
Yeah I’m sure I’ll get hooked. Thankfully I’ll have much more disposable income next year otherwise I’d be in real trouble.
I have specifically engineered it so that I have no idea what I am getting this year. So probably socks.
Everyone is getting home made sriracha from me. Damn right you’re jealous.
None.
AC4, Injustice and NFS for PS4. Console arrived yesterday but it’s already wrapped and under the tree
If you count the one I’m buying for myself, then Rocksmith 2014 Edition.
As for giving, I got my friend the Splinter Cell: Blacklist 5th Freedom Edition.
Reading your comment made me look up Rocksmith 2014, now I want it! Lol
I have a Wii U with Mario Luigi U and Rayman Legends under the tree.
Oh and The Pokemans Y.
Got AC4 and Killzone PS4 already so I have other current gen sorted for now.
I’ve got four kids, no gifts for me, but if anyone would like to donate 12 hours sleep I will gladly take it.
I’ll gladly sleep 12 hours on your behalf… that’s what you meant right? 😛
Nothin’. I haven’t gotten a game as a present since… wait no, not even GameCube. GBA. Last one I can clearly remember being given was Metroid Fusion. After that point my parents told me if I wanted any games, I’d have to get them myself.
That was probably a mistake.
Only one that I know of, Tearaway!
I don’t think I will be receiving any games as a gift but I bought myself a PS4 + AC4 + BF4 + CoD. So I would count that as a early xmas present to myself 🙂
My brother is getting The Last of Us and I’m getting the Bioshock Infinite DLC.
Got my folks to pick me up ryse: son of rome! Not something i would buy for my self, but since they are paying 😀
Well, I just bought Tomb Raider for myself, if that counts.
Otherwise, most likely getting AC4 and the new Splinter Cell (gotta love cheap imports)
I think someone is buying me a skipping rope. That’s a game right?
I got Bravely Default for Xmas, already plugged 50hrs into.it.
No games for me this year, like every year.
I might divulge in some steam sale goodies but even they have been limited the last few sales.
I’ve not received a gaming-related gift since the GTA3/VC Xbox bundle. My parents know I like to buy my own games and tech in general… which means I’m a difficult person to buy gifts for by default. Which makes it a not very enthusiastic but rather hilarious event when opening presents, cos they’re all so random. I don’t mind, though – my Christmas present is spending time with my family, which I get precious few opportunities to do these days.
Dead rising 3 & Forza 5
My son is getting Skylanders Swap Force and Super Mario 3D World. I’m looking forward to some Mario madness if I can actually get a turn. Also, I think my sneaky wife may have bought a PS4 for the family… 🙂
