Re: Get any games for the holidays?
Got a Wii for the kids and myself. Mario Party 8 for them, Zelda: TP and Tomb Raider (gift) for me!

If you're in to RPGs I'd suggest Mass Effect and Bioshock.

While it was purchased on the release date, Mario Galaxy was a "Christmas gift".

Re: Get any games for the holidays?
I got demo games on my new 360. 
Now to buy halo XBL gold and some other games. Maybe I should sell my DS and get some 360 games.

Same here
I got Beautiful Katamari with it; picked up Dead Rising and Viva Pinata today.
The new/popular stuff is just too damned expensive

Re: Get any games for the holidays?
I got Mass Effect. First 30 minutes was all "WTF?" followed by three hours of "Best KotOR they've made yet."

Re: Get any games for the holidays?
Yeah a lot, but mostly titles that had been out or were hard to find and thus cheaper than stuff like Gears/UT3. Hit a lot of Target clearance racks, found some nice deals.
Otherwise...Conan, Star Trek Legacy, and Kengo: Legend of the 9 for 360. Then on the 2nd of January its all Soul Calibur 4 and hoping they don't screw up Taki anymore like they did in SC3.

Re: Get any games for the holidays?
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. I wanted to get it, but didn't even ask anyone for it because I wanted cheaper/more modest gifts for Christmas. So much for that. Not that I'm complaining, the game is excellent.
All hail Xenu!

Re: Get any games for the holidays?
GoW PC for $32.49 delivered. Gonna have GoW with mouse aiming, fight me a Brumak and render at (not upscale to) 16x12 & 1680x1050. No auto-aim even on 360, it belongs on the PC. Woohoo.

Re: Get any games for the holidays?
My awesome GF got me a Wii so I got to play the Zelda:TP Wii version that has been sitting in my house, and I am going to pickup Mario Galaxy this weekend. BTW my kids love the Wii sports, its great seeing them laugh, have fun and break a sweat playing video games. Best system I have seen from a family and fun perspective and thats what video games are about for me anyways so it works out great!

I got Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings for the DS. I'm not impressed so far, although I loved the PS2 game.

So watch fewer videos and play more.
