Good Gaming Xmas 2010

I got a bunch of cool new games this year for Xmas. Most were bought by myself but for Isaac. Just a quick list:

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time (PS3)
I got this game in November and opened it early to give me something to do up until Xmas but I actually platinumed it over Thanksgiving break.

3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
Ale used some store credit from Amazon to buy my this game for Xmas. She's such a sweetie. Now I finally get to see why every one compares it to Zelda. I like it so far but it's really going to take up some time as it is old-school difficult.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (PS3)
Isaac plays the demo all the time so I thought to get him this game. Also got him his own PS3 Dual Shock (blue, his fav color) so we can play simultaneously.

Cars Race O'Rama (PS3)
Isaac loves the Cars franchise and I read up on this game that it wasn't too horrible. Kids would like it anyway. Plus I checked and I could be able to platinum it as a bonus.

Donkey Kong Country Returns (WII)
I used my Xmas game from my mom to get this also for Isaac but he didn't seem to care about it that much. I played it a little and it's okay. Very familar to what I remember the old ones being like. No trophies and the lack of HD graphics really hurt it in my eyes.

Just Cause 2 (PS3)
This was another game that Isaac constantly plays the demo. I wasn't too keen on getting this but I figured what the heck. It is a mature rated game with lots of shooting, etc but I have determined that Isaac is well grounded for the most part it doesn't bother me to let him play most games like this. I didn't really play the demo that much but let me tell you it quickly became my favorite game out of all of them. The game world is huge, the options are seemingly unlimited, the controls are very well done and the grappling hook just makes getting around extremely fun. I could probably write a whole blog about this game alone.

So that was not a bad haul for Xmas. I told Isaac that we'd use this gift card for Gamestop I had to buy Dead Space 2 when that comes out at the end of January. Hopefully this will keep us busy for a while and having fun well into the new year.
