“With my triumphant almost return to GDNA, Dragon Age: Origins. Had to stop coming here because my spotlight kept trying to spoil the game for me. >,<

It's an almost return because of a family emergency that is ongoing, and Dragon Age rocks. Mostly the emergency though..”

“That holiday sale on Steam was/is amazing I got The Orange Box for $15 even though I had already bought TF2 for $20 months before, still totally worth it :D Man, Portal rocked my world and Gordon Freeman is now shooting asses and taking names in Half-Life 2.”

We're still waiting on Ep. 3.....”

“@Warpawn, I actually didn't play HL2 until I downloaded Portal from XBLA, then went back and promptly bought the Orange Box shortly after completing the game. I know where you're coming from ;)”

“So how much did you guys pay? A lot of what I bought were for 8 bucks or less.”

darkhado was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Way too much...but a lot of the new games I got great deals for (example: the tekken stick with game was 77 bucks...and when I just bought the tekken games they were 19 bucks a piece). Gotta love the holiday deals :)”

“Pretty much full price. My wife managed to snag Borderlands for $44 at Target shortly after Thanksgiving. She had to buy Assassin's Creed II twice because she accidentally ordered the 360 version the first time. Whoops. For some reason though, she wasn't amused by my solution of "we could just go buy a 360." Ah well, c'est la vie.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@darkhado Yeah, pretty much all of the console games I got were from Gamefly, it really pays to be a member. Great prices on used games.”

darkhado was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“very true :) I got some games from there also...they just got a restock on some of their games ^_^
don't know if you know about this site but if you want great deals go to www.cheapassgamer.com that's how I got all my stuff. They post the latest deals on games. ”

“hmm... *tries to rack her reptilian brain..*

Well, I got Chrono Trigger DS and Sim City DS on Christmas.

Did not actually buy much else... I mean, I would have loved too--but well... all the mental blocks I put on my mind kind of disappeared towards the end of November. So I was flooded with all the crap that I really do not like facing that has occurred in my life since about the age of twelve.

Suffice to say, I was not really functional at all in Decembre.”

minkbikini was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Assasin's Creed 2, The Saboteur (meh) and a PSN network card.
@earthboundX: where do you start? I'm still wading through the pile of Oct/Nov releases.”

LeonBelmontX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I got Assassin's Creed II, and Dragon Ball Raging Blast. ACII was a lot better than I expected (I was a bt unsure if it would be good or not, but it's excellent), and DBRB is pretty tough at times but it's going to keep me busy for a long time! Oh, I also got a copy of Megaman Zero (GBA) - which I haven't played much of yet - and I bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma II with some Christmas money, but that's in the pipeline til I'm bored (I've already got and completed NGII).”

“I dunno. I got Demon's Souls and I almost wish I hadn't picked up some of these other games that will continue to sit on my shelf, unopened or half-played... because of this damn game. >.>”

darkhado was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Frohike ha ha, I know what you mean. My friends b*tch and moan about the game because it's really hard. If you wait sometimes there will be times when Atlus will turn down the difficulty of the game...like during Christmas :) they called it a "Pure White Christmas"”

“Fifa 10 -360
Assassin's Creed 2 -360
Batman AA -360
MW2- 360
Little Big Planet -PS3

Haven't really had time to get into any of them. As for price two were gifts. The others I picked up at gamestops after christmas sale. basically got Batman for free after buying another two. ”

Kiernan was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“eh forgot the ME 2 pre-order. Anyone know why gamestop didn't carry the collectors edition at all? wtf. Had to get it to amazon. Praying it arrives in one piece as I've received scratched DVDs and just opened my packaged today to find a worn book. Ugh ”

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (X360)
Crysis Warhead (PC)
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PC)

I picked up the PC games from Steam for a total of $23.78. I'm having a blast playing C&C: RA3. I was hesitant to buy it last year because it seemed mediocre, but I'm glad I have it now. For the next Steam Holiday Sale, I'm planning to get Assassin's Creed II.”

ElemWiz was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Picked up a lot (10-20) of cheap PS2 games from Gamestop. They had a deal going on, buy 2 get 1 free. I also picked up quite a few (4-8) Wii party games for my New Year's Eve party. We didn't get to play all of them, but it was fun.”

UrbanMerc was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Made out good this year myself! MW 2, AC 2, IL-2 Sturmovik, ArmA II, Rise of Flight, Dirt 2, NBA Live 10, Uncharted 2... I am sure I am forgetting a couple or so, but it was a great Christmas for me for sure!”

“I received Assassin's Creed I and II (360), Spider-Man Web of shadows (360), cop - the recruit (DS), Left for Dead 2 (PC), MK vs. DC Universe) (360) were all gifts and then picked up Dragaonball Raging Blast (360), Dragon Age-Origins (PC), Red Faction guerrilla (PC) and Borderlands (PC). Unfortunately my 360 has RROD again so PC it is (for now)!!!!!”

“Aaand--bought Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky yesterday. Then bought Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Tetris Party off of Wii Shop.

Yeah I got sucked in when I saw that they was a Pokemon Rumble Demo on Wii Shop. I also downloaded the other demos (apart from the demo for Nyx Quest--which I already have the full version of)”

Chefjayman was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I got Dragon Age: Origins and Lego Batman. Both were on sale. DA:O for 30 bucks at Walmart and Lego Batman for 15 from EB. Thats about all I could afford with my budget being super tight so my wife and I can pay our debts off sooner :-)

...If it weren't for that I would have added GH: Van Halen, Fallout 3 GOTY Edition , Borderlands (I suffice with a borrowed copy atm) and a couple others I can't recall offhand.”

“Here's a new one for everyone, what do you think was the best game you played in 2009? Even though I just started Demon's Soul, I think it might be my favorite game of 2009.
It reminds me so much of King's Field, one of my favorite game series.

Followed by the highly underrated PC game Cryostasis.

Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story would probably be my favorite handheld game of 2009. ”

“@minkbikini "@kakavegegurl: that's when you take matters into your own hands and buy yourself something. That way you always get what you want... :)"

What is, lines that sound like they could be from a porno?

I'll take Famous Titties for 600 Mr. Trebek.

-=-

- @EarthboundX hmmm... well... you do like "games that stink" (sorry... just had to reference the ad campaign for Earthbound XD )

Maybe I will check out Mario and Luigi: Bower's Inside Story--it is too bad that I did not see a copy at Futureshop when I picked Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky.”

xersia was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX - my favourite for 09 is still Mass Effect. I was on leave and the weather wasn't great outside, so decided to pickup the game and install. Was glued to my PC for a week, trying to unlock most achievements. I'm currently on my second play-through with custom character. Can't wait for Mass Effect II.”

Fallout2Forever was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

I only played it in 2009....hehe....some of us are slower than others. ”

Fallout2Forever was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@xersia It's cool. I make mistakes like that all the time.

Until a couple days ago, I always assumed that Planescape Torment was released in 2000, and therefore eligible for the best game of the decade as well as of all time(I still say that it's the best game of all time.”

Uhhh you're talking about Crisis Core right? If not then I want the PSP version of FF7 :\”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@SDxBrandimus Don't get too excited, it's the original game - not a remake. It's in the PSOne Classics section on PSN.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Reiaze It's a good deal too, just 10 bucks, the PS1 version can go for over 70 bucks used now a days.”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX Yeah, I agree. $10 is awesome. I ♥ PSN's Classic store. I just wish they'd hurry up and add more!”

SDxBrandimus was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“:O damn :( are they remaking FF7? I have heard rumors but not sure. Crisis Core was pretty good.”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@SDxBrandimus I'm pretty sure all the fans are hoping and praying that they are, but so far there isn't any official word about a remake.”

SDxBrandimus was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Well, I had no idea it was on the PSN store... Is it still there to buy?”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Last time I checked it was still there.”

SDxBrandimus was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Yeah didn't realize I had to install Media Go, it's there. I will definitely buy this, as it will bring back good memories and as you said earthbound $10 is a steal for the price the game is running at used nowadays.”

“I finally got enough money to get the Fallout GotY edition and the store where the bulk of my gift cards were designated didn't have it. So instead I picked up the Pitt and OA expansion disc and got a copy of the game used for less than twenty bucks. This game is so great, can't wait for NEW VEGAS.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“When I get some disposable income I'll be getting the GOTY for Fallout 3, and probably pre-ordering Splinter Cell: Conviction, and FFVIII. Then maybe backfilling my PS2 library before those titles disappear.”

Bloodlust1138 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@SDxBrandimus nope just the original FF 7 tis a total nostalgic buzz.. the music, the great graphics for thier time are still on par with the ds tho.. The story is still one of the best with alot of perverse humour not found in the rest of the series.. Cloud dresses up as a girl to save tifa from a brothel?! Absolute classic! ^_^”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“After all this time, I'm only played less then 10 games on this list, haha.”

KatrinaTheLamia was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“The really funny thing is: in the two months that followed Christmas, I bought an insanely large amount of games.

XBox 360 games, PS2 games, a few NDS games, I think I bought Persona at this point too.

And yeah--most of these still need decent plays to them.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I am also guilty of this...”

KatrinaTheLamia was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@rawkr to be honest, I really have no clue how I do it.

The bills and debts and what not, that I rack up in Swik really do not hit me until June the following year.

Which, to be fully honest, I would prefer to be broke in June than in January.

Somehow I suspect in doing so I have two major effects:

1) Supporting the economy better during what typically is a slump (January, February and March)

2) Getting some typically better (well better balanced) prices during those months due to lack of people shopping due to the effects of the Holiday season.

I mean, yes, the sales are over--but typically sales tend to only apply to certain items--anything not on sale tends to be over priced, compared to the rest of the year.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“The games I got were dirt cheap, but it is just finding the time to play them and keep up with the new titles. It is too much. Even if I had the money, I doubt I would be able to find the time to play them all.”
