Help me spend Christmas money

[Aerozord]

Ok I got some cash, but zero games for Christmas. Keeping myself entertained with my backlog and minecraft. Of course just my luck alot of good games came out at the end of the year and unfortunately I have enough money for, one game. I think I got it narrowed down though.

Zelda: Skyward Sword
Kirby: Return to Dreamland.
Saints Row 3 *
Skyrim**

*I haven't played Saints Row 2 so if its better suggest that

**Normally I'd just go with this but my backlog includes Deus Ex and New Vegas so I worry about RPG overload.

None video gaming alternative is to just get a nice hat and the new Autocthon book for Exalted.

so no suggestions at all? Fine with just like some first hand opinions on the games. I want to be cautious since this might be the only game I get for several months

I haven't played any of those games yet, but I bought Batman:Arkham Asylum during the Steam Christmas Sale ant it is devouring my life. It's like 3 years old, but it's fantastic, if you haven't played it yet.

I hear Skyrim is pretty awesome, if a bit buggy, and will eat away hours of your life. I'll probably pick up that one myself after I break the Batman addiction I've got going.

I've heard good things about Skyward Sword too.

I can't help you, because I have no taste in anything. Skyward Sword was a lot of fun, but almost anything would be when I haven't played a new game since Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Actually the only reason Arkham City wasn't on that list is because my nephew got it, so probably gonna bum it off him. Definitely agree with the recommendation but its one of the few I got covered

What, nobody suggested hookers and blow yet? Fine, I suggest hookers and blow.

Get Saints Row 2 for cheep on a console (PC port sucks).

Just play New Vegas then get Skyrim sometime in the future.

I have not played the new kirby or a decent amount of skyward sword.

Saints row 2 is a good game (funny as well) but I would say get the Third if you have to choose. That game is quite literally insane. The only thing you might miss from the second and first is an attachment to a character who dies and the start of some running jokes about shaundi.

I second fallout new Vegas if you don't have that. Skyrim will go down, buy it then.

I actually recommend Bloodbowl legendary edition. The single player is kinda bad due to a cheating AI but the multiplayer is strategy gaming at it's best.

give it to me

[Aerozord]

can someone confirm this, I heard that Saints Row 3 (PS3 version atleast) comes with a code to get Saints Row 2 download for free. If this is true I'll probably go with that since its two full games I havent played before

That's what I heard as well.
I do believe it's true.
