It's good to be back on Gamespot. Since i haven't posted anything in a while i figured i might as well post what i'm expecting to get video-game wise for Christmas.
Part 1 - 10 years of Commanding and Conquering
Ah, Command and Conquer. A gem in the RTS world. The first Command and Conquer game i ever played was probably Red Alert 2, which i have many fond memories of. Zombie Soviets and American GIs shooting each other is quite entertaining. So when i saw the First Decade value pack i decided that i needed to get my hands on it. So, my mom, my brother and me all went to Walmart one day for Christmas shopping and we walked by the computer games. I ran over, eager to find it and show it to my mom in case she was feeling generous. Just my luck; there was 1 copy left. I grabbed it and walked back to my mom, showing her the game and telling her that it was the last one. She told me to put it in the cart. Woo! I just scored 12 games!
The First Decade includes the following games:
-Command and Conquer (Tiberian Dawn)
-Command and Conquer: The Covert Operations
-Command and Conquer: Red Alert
-Command and Conquer: Red Alert - Counterstrike
-Command and Conquer: Red Alert - The Aftermath
-Command and Conquer 2 (Tiberian Sun)
-Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun - Firestorm
-Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 [i look forward to playing this]
-Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge
-Command and Conquer: Renegade
-Command and Conquer: Generals
-Command and Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour
So thats 12 games - 13 if you count the collection itself. I do plan on reviewing most, if not all, of them so if you like my reviews or want to know more about the game, look for those.
Part 2 - The Curse of the Playstation 2
My mom and my sister go out Christmas shopping, and when they come back they wrap some stuff and put it under the tree. I immediately recognize one of the gifts as a Playstation 2 game, judging by the shape and size. When i say "if it has the word fantasy, or final, or the number 10 in it; i'll be happy" my sister gets all nervous and my mom says "well don't ruin the surprise!" so, i get Final Fantasy X as well. And, my sister said she got my little brother some sort of Crash game, so thats 2 PS2 games.
Part 3 - January Mayhem
I'm expecting to get a new laptop in January, and with it Section 8. So, that's another thing.
Overall, about 15 games in the next 2 months. Not bad! If you have any Christmas stories, or know what you're getting feel free to post it!
