I have had Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics pre-ordered for several months now...keeps getting pushed back. Most people would probably hate it, but it's my kind of game.
I tend to make up my own.
It's funny to think back on it, but besides Cloud from Final Fantasy 7, I don't know the names of the other characters because I used rap artists as the names. I don't know why, I just did. Cloud was Vanilla (as in Ice) and the black guy was Tupac...Missy was in there...
The one thing that I miss is games that don't require 20+ hours to beat.
When I think back about the older games, the majority of good games were games you could sit down and play entirely through within an hour or two. The games were good because they were simply fun.
One summer when I was 10 or so, my parents only allowed me to play video games for one hour each day. I ended up playing Rygar on the NES every day. It was the only game we had at the time that you could beat in just under an hour. It is by far the only game I have played through many, many...
Fortunately I have no christmas gifts to return.
The only thing I got was a shirt from my now ex-girlfriend. She opened her gifts...I opened mine...and then she broke up with me.
At least the shirt is nice. I will try not to get any of her blood on it.
