Games on my Christmas list

There's a few games right now on my Christmas list that I'm excited about.

First is Shaun White Snowboarding. I can't wait to hear more impressions on this game. The mountains look big enough to provide many unique routes down the slopes. The game looks similar to skate, just on snow to me. I hope so.

I also want Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii. I don't game too much on the Wii these days, but I was addicted to the Gamecube version of this game. The Wii version doesn't seem to have that many new features, but the online aspect of it with the WiiSpeak add-on should be interesting to say the least!

NCAA Basketball 09 has also caught my eye. I liked the demo, kudos to EA for putting out an 8-minute half demo. It really lets you get a feel for the game. I'm not a basketball fan (I don't even know who that is on the cover), but this game seems fun enough to play a few seasons with Auburn.

I've never played a Tomb Raider game before, but Tomb Raider Underworld looks very nice and it will be my first of the series. I'm a bit bummed that the 360 is getting the DLC extras since I'm a PS3 guy, but the game looks very good. It has an Uncharted look to it and that game was outstanding.

It's not a game, but the PS3 wireless keyboard is also on my list. I have a small thumbpad for the PS3 but it always has to have an USB sensor plugged in, this official PS3 keyboard is bluetooth, so I want that.

Winter is always the time of year when I try to hit up some FPS's....my list for this winter is easy:

1)Gears of War 2
2)Call of Duty: World at War
3)Resistance 2

Sports games will still take up some of my time, but I like to get away from them and do other genres until just before baseball season...

I have R2 and Gears 2, but my problem is finding the time to actually play them. I have those 2 games, GTA, Little Big Planet and Fallout 3 that I haven't even opened yet.

I wasn't even aware there was a Shaun White Snowboarding game, I might have to give that a rental.

yeah rspencer, I think it looks pretty good. The graphics might not be the best ever, but they look nice. There's suppose to be a pretty awesome online multiplayer mode where you can just board with a bunch of friends on the slopes.

If Shaun White Snowboarding is like Skate on snow I would be happy with that. NCAA Basketball 09 is looking to be good this year. Hopefully Santa brings you the games on your list and not a Hannah Montana or Dora the Explorer game.
