Woot! Santa left me a $50 GameStop giftcard in my stocking, so need help deciding which game to buy...
I'm thinking about picking up Gears 2 or Fallout 3 - but any other must-haves (for Wii or 360) you guys can think of?

Re: I need a new game
Actually, no. I haven't really played anything for 360 other than Rock Band 2 in soooo long. Same with Wii.
Now that I think about it, I seriously only play Dreamcast, PS2, and SNES nowadays...
I is of no help.

Re: I need a new game
Well, I don't know what you have, but if you haven't gotten GTAIV I would highly recommend that. CoD4/World at War is fun... I dunno. I personally am kinda upset that I didn't get Gears 2 for Christmas, so I'd go grab that game. I did get Guitar Hero World Tour, so I shouldn't bitch.

Re: I need a new game
Deadspace bored me actually x.x
But Left 4 Dead, heck yeah, that\'s a fun game. Though I personally own it for the PC for the keyboard/mouse combo, but yeah, it\'s a must have.

Re: I need a new game
I think I'm going to buy a XBLA points card. I can get 4000 pts for 50 bucks. There's plenty of games I want to buy online, like Street Fighter 2 HD, Portal, and Braid.
Re: I need a new game
I was thinking of doing the same thing yesterday, but I didn't.... IDK why....

Gears 2 is okay. Horde mode is fun. Up to 5 people vs 50 waves of computer-controlled locust.
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I got 2100 points and bought DOOM
I like how a great deal of the games have trial demos, so you can try before you buy

Re: I need a new game
yet you programmed pong successfully, man that's really clever
However if you're referring to never paying for games, then shame on you, we're all developers here, and we need to eat!
