What Games Did you Get for Chrismas? 2007 ed.

Postby Tommy » Tue Dec 25, 2007 6:15 am

I make these every year on Christmas day and even though I'm not too much into video games anymore, I still wanted to make sure I made this thread.

This includes board games.

"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."
- J.I. Packer[/SIZE]

As stated before, I got a Wii for Christmas (a Santa Me gift a week ago). I got Rayman Raving Rabbids and Metroid Prime 3 with it. Today I got some Christmas dough from my grandmother, which shall go towards a new game. Which one, I haven't decided yet.

I got this game called "22 million gerbils in space."

It's high fantasy (wizards and house elves) kind of game where you don't use any sort of electricity, including your TV and game systems. I mostly just stare at my PS3 imagining I'm playing it. The 3rd story arc in the game is really difficult, though, and I have yet to discover who the president is working for... I got too frustrated with it and gave up, and went back to my older games (uncharted, Folklore)



Yeah, I didn't get any games for Christmas. 'Tis ok.

Pretty much the entire game takes place in there. But there's tons of bosses and stuff to work on. Short game, and the sequel is similar with visiting one big, main area... But you do get to visit Hades at one point on the original.

As for me, I didn't get any. Bought all the ones I wanted before hand, so didn't ask my family/friends to pick up anything.

Not really. There are some instances where you are brought back to a main area, but once you passed a place, you most likely will never be back there again, with how the game flows :/
