What games do you feel people are going to forget this Holiday season? Of course people will be asking for Reach, Black Ops, AC:Brotherhood, and maybe Fable 3. But what are the great titles that are out there that people should be asking for?

In my opinion a lot of people are going to leave off Vanquish and Enslaved. Both of those are on my wish list for this Christmas. The other game on my wish list is Alan Wake. I'm really looking forward to playing these. I also have Splatterhouse on my list, but that one's at the bottom of the barrell.

So, what are other games you think people forgot to put on their wishlists for this year?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Both games are fantastic.

Simply put, there are no games that should be on everyone's Christmas list, nobody likes everything and there will never be a game that everyone likes.

Er, I think what the OP was getting at is that all the usual suspects are going to be the big sellers this Christmas, and is instead asking which games we think deserve to be picked up just as much as the chart toppers. Simple, really. I think a lot of people passed up Medal of Honor in favour of CoD and I think that's a shame as it definitely deserves a look. I also think Blur was really overlooked too. It's just as fun as any Need for Speed / Burnout game I've ever played.

New Vegas and Dead Rising 2. Two of my personal favorite games of the year and barely any will ask for 'em for christmas... shame.

you're right though, Vanquish was also pretty fantastic. Haven't checked out Enslaved yet but plan to when I get the time. Too many games...

Believe it or not I have never heard of Vanquish until now so I might just be getting that for Christmas now. :lol: Dead Rising 2 is a great game and really improved on the first so I would say that.

Considering he wrote "But what are the great titles that are out there that people should be asking for?".

Do I really need to explain this? He does not say what other titles besides those, he says what are the titles people should be asking for. It is placed in bold to emphasis his meaning, i.e., the titles should instead be asked for.

It is not a clear statement if he did intend it by the impression that you took from it. Ergo nothing is wrong with cain's comment.

Well no ones perfect so a "Simple, really." misunderstanding can happen to us all! ^^

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow_Doomsayer_
Aww, I forgot that one... nevermind :P. I am happy with my wish list :). A game that should be on peoples lists (just going with the theme of the thread) is Rock Band 3 :).

So true! while Black Ops shall be amazing (Christmas for me), Medal Of Honor was fantastic. I just thought that I would add that personally I didn't really like the Blur demo, although I absolutely LOVED Split/Second(: Velocity). There has also been a lot more DLC for it recently which I plan to get in the near future :D.

The new Need for Speed is surprisingly on my wishlist. I was surprised at how much i enjoyed as the demo as I'm not the biggest fan of racing/driving games. Enslaved and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow are also on my wishlist.

ive asked for dragon age ultimate edition and fifa 11. but games that deserve to be picked up are mass effect 2, RDR, alan wake, BFBC2 and so mny more. id say just cause 2 deserves to be under the tree, its not a game you play for hours on end, its just a chill out game where you dont have to care about the story or anything

Alan Wake is a must have.

Splatterhouse was an outstanding game for me (8+), the only problem I had with it was the camera... no loading issues, no "hard 2D levels", no anything. I urge you to get it if you like this type of game.
