Hey. Well, it's here - December 25th, Christmas Day. I did very well actually, and managed to blag the following things:
1. Mario Party 4
A good game in all respects, multi-player was a bit boring this morning (probably because we all were tired) but I gave the single player a go about an hour ago and had a great time. The mini-games are brilliant fun, and the boards are well designed too.
2. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
This is a really nicely put together first person shooter, with some great guns and huge levels. The force powers are well thought out, and the lightsabre duels are top notch. It really makes you feel like a Jedi - and is a worthy addition to the collection.
3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PS2 Version)
My first Tony Hawk's game since the second installment proves not to be a disappointment, with some interesting new features and tricks. The graphics are great, and the levels are very well done, so big combos are easy to get to grips with. Worth buying.
On top of all that, I got some chocolate (as always), a few videos (including Friends Series 8), a Simpsons book and a wallet. My brother got quite a bit two, including three PS2 games (James Bond 007: Nightfire, Red Faction 2 and NBA Street) plus a couple of DVDs (The Fellowship Of The Ring 4 Disc Special Edition being one of them).
So, what did you guys get?
