"Xmas is looming ..."

And I am allowed to get 3 games this year (along with other non game-related presents) but i'm having trouble choosing which ones.

Theres quite alot of sequels but seeing as I haven't played the first game of the sequel I dont know whether i'll like them or not.

So, can somebody help me choose the best games this Xmas by listing what would be your top 5 games to buy for Xmas. This excludes imports and games that come out after Xmas, they have to be out in the UK before Xmas.

Halo 2 is great but I haven't played it for a whole day (OMG!!) and dont really feel like playing it tonight so i'm sure it wont keep me entertained for long.

GTA San Andreas came out a month ago and even though I still like it I dont play it as often and I definately need a new game to play.

I'm thinking about a platformer, the last platformer I played was Crash Bandicoot on the Xbox which (suprisingly) was quite fun even though I completed it quickly. I want a pretty hard platformer, the new Ratchet and Clank looks good along with Jak 3 and a few others.

I dont really want Killzone so dont bother putting that in the list, it looks alright but I dont think i'll enjoy it. It's a shame they haven't released a new SSX or NBA Street because I love them games so much and if I got them both at Xmas i'd be so happy. This year seems boring, maybe i'm just being lazy and aren't searching around for games but there doesn't seem to be anything that i'm really exited about.

Quite a few games that I was looking forward to have been delayed like Splinter Cell, Doom 3, Half Life 2 etc. But there must be some good games coming out this Xmas, there always is.

Prince of Persia was okay when I got it but I got bored quite quickly so I dont really want the second installment.

If there isn't any decent games coming out that i'd like then I think i'll have to go for an older game that I haven't got and that everyone thinks is good.

So, if you could help me choose some games i'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hmmm... Might consider picking up NFSU 1 if I can't find it cheap...

I like the underground ones better because they still have the good driving feel that the normal NFS games did but they also have the customisation and decent storyline.

Oh and the really good light effects on the road.

Pssssh...

I like the original Need For Speed games on the PC, but the PS2 ones don't do nothin' for me.

Because I liked NFSU1.

Why NFSU2?

Nah, I think this is what i'll get :

- Ratchet and Clank 3

- Football Manager 2005

- NFSU2

I was gonna get Jak 3 but in the magasine they gave it a lower score than R&C because you have to do alot of riding in the Warthog type thing and it kinda looses it's platform feel.

Still want it?

Talking of Goldeneye.

I got a magasine yesterday and they gave it 60%, they said it doesn't even have that "Bond feel" and it's too basic.

Meh.

Please?

I have the original... but... what was the other part of the question.

Not selling... ever
