Sandok will become famous soon enoughSandok will become famous soon enough

For PC mate, get GTR2 You like cars no? You'll love this Buy a good steering wheel too!

Otherwise, I can advise Company of Heroes also!

As for Xbox... Chuck it and get the x360 Or otherwise, just buy the classics for the console (Ninja Gaiden, Halo etc...)

Same for PS2

Why would you tell anyone that ?! Anyone that doesn't play WoW should consider them selves lucky, once your in, you can't escape. also dont shop at wal-mart.

Now, for games you should get, for ps2, pc, or xbox, there isn't anything I care for being released for the PC before xmas.
PS2, only thing that comes to mind is FFXII if you like RPG's. Xbox, nothing comes to mind.

besides, you don't need to buy any free trial to play wow, they offer a free one right on their site >_>

Im proud to say I did lolll. I played it 135h in 2week, its addictive then I started to realize I had to stop it for my own good ! and ive never played since then.



As for the christmas gift, If u like cars, GTR2 and Need for Speed Carbon (for the PC). Im not a big console fan but for ps2: okami is a great choice. Its a really cool game Or maybe try to get one of those deal on the Xbox 360 with Gears of War. I think its really worth it

Wow is great, it, just like everything else, should be done in moderation.

I love wal-mart, every store should be a wal-mart

I have started buying my xmas/bday presents. Already ordered the Halo triple pack, still waiting for the Daw of War anthology, ordered Company of Heroes (with the free Dawn of war game of the year edition to give to a cheap friend of mine) and thinking but haven't decided yet on the Gears of War game. I might also get Anno 1701 and an at least 500GB external HDD. The last three are not sure, still deciding on them.

word of advice, look to several places for whatever you want to get. I "got" all three game packs above for about $70 in total.
