"For Those Of You Stuck For Christmas"

Those of you having trouble for Christmas presents look here:

1. Mario Sunshine
Okay enough said. Buy this now! Only downside is that it may prove too easy for some gamers. But no. 1 in the Christmas guide.

2. Timesplitters 2
Outstanding multiplayer. Beats Die Hard, Both Bonds and Turok Evolution. Words cannot describe the multiplayer. Single player a little short.

3. Eternal Darkness
I thought this would be a dull version of Resident Evil but it's better in my opinion. Insanity meter is amazing and the whole story line is great. But again too short.

4. Starfox Adventures
Although there have been terrible reviews of this game I think it's great. The fighting may be rubbish but the rest of the game is world class.

5. Super Smash Bros Melee
For those of you who don't have this get it. Now! Lasts ages and is great fun. But one player a little repetitive.

Hope it helps

But then we wouldn't have Starfox Armada...best to just jam their cockpit doors shut so they can't get out and have an 'adventure'

I am getting three games for Christmas, I was lookin at;

DieHard:Vend
Fifa 2003
Nightfire
MOH:Frontline
Super Mario Sunshine (Maybe)
Mario Party (Maybe)
And any others that people care tp comment about...

So any advice on what to get?

So anyone care to submit their top 5 for Christmas, maybe i will actually be able to decide before christmas!

I'd take Starfox and stamp on it repeatedly until it dies, after this crap game I reckon they should definetly keep fox hunting. Hell I might even be tempted to do some myself....

Die Hard's much better than Starfox, the controls are a bit cack but once you get used to them they're fine.

*please note I am not really for Fox hunting, I think it's a sick sport and should be banned....unless Starfox and his leper friends are involved*

Not good at all control-wise. if you're looking for the next Goldeneye, forget it 'cos this aint it.

I'd take Star Fox Adventures out of the list as well. It's too easy and too crap. It's like decent wrapping paper - it looks nice but you're never going to have fun with it.

i heard good bad things, including controls.........

What 'bout DieHard:Vendettal, Anyone got it?

Better than Sunshine. You're obviously insane!

Only Alcatraz? If you thought that was amazing DW, you would be in awe of the rest of the game! It's an amazing game guys, you should get it. I've had all the previous games, and this is far superior to any of them.

:)

Nighfire is supposed to be a very dissapointing game indeed. In PCGamer they said the action manages to be boring and the level design is bland, just like the last game. Pah, well one less game to worry about then.

For Christmas I'll probably like to get Timesplitters 2, It'd just be a great game to play on christmas day, especially on multiplayer. Which reminds me I must get two more controllers ready for when I finally get it.
