X-Mas 2011: What did you get/are you playing?

**wagenheimer** · 28-12-2011, 06:26 PM

Well! I have so little time to play, but on the free time I'm playing Zelda Skyward Sword on Nintendo Wii and after finish this I have Star Wars - Force Unleashed 1 to play on my XBox 360 (I have already finished this on the Playstation 2 years ago, but the Xbox version seems to be very different).

I mostly played Orc must Die this christmas and besides that, I played other Steam games to get some prizes from the Great Gift Pile.

Hey all,
I have been rather enjoying my new xmas present - the Doctor Who: The Complete Davros Collection!!

Woo hoo! I have wanted that box set for a couple of years now, and my wife managed to get it off Ebay

I have already watched 3 of the 5 Dr Who stories in it and watched some of the extras...very cool stuff

cheers,
Paul

No computer games for me, but my son got an Xbox 360 with Kinect and Halo 3. The Kinect was for me, I will use it from my Mac, for development experiments. I was reluctant to buy an Xbox, since I am not a Microsoft guy and we already have a Wii, but the Kinect is interesting and my son really longed for the later Halo games.

But the biggest theme this year was board games:

- Euphrates & Tigris, popular game.
- TransEuropa, simple and fast track-laying game, surprisingly enjoyable.
- China, interesting build-for-points game.

Are you serious? Isn't that a rather daunting task even for a phone? But it would most likely beat Android pretty seriously, performance-wise.

I did not get anything, as there is no tradition of gift-giving for holidays in my family (and generally where I'm from). I did buy the Humble Indie Bundle 4, and I'm gonna play the games as soon as I find some time (it's hectic these days).

I kinda went the other way, I got my father Crysis 2. Pondered Shogun 2 for a while, as he is a big fan of the whole Total War series, but that one was a bit too expensive for me.
