What are you going to be playing this Xmas?

Here's a couple sites to get you started...

cant DL L4D since it's steam-only and online co-op only.

just buy it, it's gonna be fucking sweet.

FO3 looks good and im definitely DLing FC2. i didnt like FC1 much at all, was pretty much a loooong tech demo and it's not even made by crytek anymore (maybe thats a good thing)

The maps where you have to raise park value are the hardest.

I was nosing around shacknews today and read that there are ads in the DC Metro for Fallout 3.

Kinda cool...since I was down there.

I usually find out about good games through either steam, or through what I hear you guys talk about.

I'll be playing:

L4D (already pre-ordered)
Fable II (want to play badly, but lack the console)
Fallout 3 (probably ask for this for xmas XD)

i hear there's a lot of negative reviews of FO3. i never played the 1st b/c i found out about them only a few years ago but they looked pretty sweet. FO3 is made by a different dev (Bethesda) who creates decent games but not FO1/2 and they dont have any of the original FO devs. alllll the original FO fanbois are crazy pissed at FO3 so far claiming it's been severely dumbed down and easy.

i dunno, i still wanna play it.

I got Far Cry 2 installed and I'm playing it right now. The graphics are stunning...

Let me know if you'd like to play it and I'll point you in the right direction.

It's that time of the season
