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

Is it shorter than Agent Under Fire? If so, I'll take that away from my list.

:-D

Personally, I think Resident Evil, Worms Blast, Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion are better than Mario Sunshine.

Worms Blast and Resi are longer and, even though Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion may be short, they're damn fun to play.

I played Tony Hawks on the PS2 yesterday, and I was truely amazed. It's totally developed since THPS3. I only skated around Alcatraz, which was amazing. Add this game to your Christmas list folks.

Indeed it is. PC version is even crapper, as it has no driving levels. Don't get this game...you'll only be trading it in a week later.

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.

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.
