This Christmas was a bit different business from usual. Sonic Unleashed was the only Wii game I wanted, and nothing was out on the DS. Aside from a new pair of headphones and the last three booster decks of Killer Bunnies (a card game that totally isn't the cheesy children's game it sounds like), I had nothing to ask for. So then I thought...maybe I could replace the random unasked-for gifts I get every year but never use, with something I've dreamed of since 2006?
See, back when Sonic 2006 came out, I wanted it. Badly. And once I saw its mediocre reception, I STILL wanted it. The problem was, they didn't release a Wii version for some bizarre reason. I considered asking for a 360 then, but figured it wouldn't be worth just one game, especially since I also asked for a Wii. Christmas 2007 passed by without much real thought.
So when Christmas 2008 rolled around, I said "Heck with it." I asked for an Xbox 360, Sonic 2006, and both Rock Band games (I'd played the first at a friend's house and liked it), just to make the 360 worth more than one game.
So there you have it. I loved Sonic 2006, and now I'm off for Unleashed. I've already played a little of that game, since I got it on the Eve, and didn't receive 2006 until our annual Christmas Day trip to my cousins' house. So here goes the rest!
All in all, it was a pretty merry Christmas. I'll actually end up regularly using most of my presents this year - in the past, I was lucky if one-fourth had any meaning to me. :P
My brother got some presents too, like Brisingr. I enjoyed Eragon and Eldest, but I'm not really interested in reading Brisingr for some reason. I guess my interest in the series waned in all the time since I've read them (I read the two one after the other).
