Winter Warm-Up

So, last night I got my Winter Survival set-up ready... Got my XBOX, NGC, PS2, and Dreamcast out and set them all up, attatched to various CRTs I've been hanging onto...

I played about an hour of "007: Agent Under Fire" on my GameCube, followed by some "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance"... There are certain games which I like to play at certain times of year... For an example, I generally run through "Metal Gear Solid" (PSOne) every Summer. I've done it every year since the game was released. I think one of the games I will be running this Fall is "Lord of the Rings: The Third Age" which I scored in the Spring against all odds, from my local used store...

What else should I be looking to play this Winter? Anyone got any Fall traditions? I have already been told I need to play "Twilight Princess" from one friend. I'm definitely going to play "Eternal Darkness", as it has been almost a decade since I last played it...

What do you think? What are your Winter Games?

:D

Depends what floats your boat in games. It's a 3rd person Action-Adventure (even though in some scenarios it looks like a platformer) and while some might highlight the story, such things are of lesser importance to me.

Gameplay-wise though it's very good; there's killing stuff, collecting stuff, exploration, entertaining stealth sections (stealth rarely means fun but here they've got it right), minigames, hovercraft racing and -my favourite part of the game-; taking photo's of all the creatures in the world. It's a laid-back adventure rather than a rush, but that contributes to its charm.

$19.99 is about £12. Yeah i think it's worth it, no idea what the X360 & PS3 HD versions cost though.

ABSOLUTELY worth a 20... "BGE" is another one of those games I consider to be PERFECT. It will make you laugh, it will bring a lump to your throat... It is simply one of the best games EVER to be MADE. Seriously, I would never (intentionally) steer you wrong. You might be able to find it cheaper online, or whatever, but $20 for that game, even today, is a great price for what you will get out of it.
