    While talking to some of my friends, (we are all going out to celebrate Xmas) the question popped up. Is anyone going to game on Xmas? And what? Name of the game and genre. I`d like a poll added also and what I mean by that, is what type of game will be most played :D


    And also , I`d like to wish everyone a warm and fuzzy Merry Christmas!

    I personally, find it rude to play video games on Christmas day while family is here, so none of the above

    I for one voted FPS, since having family all around can be stressful and tiring so I can relax by shooting people and such :D

    Well, I'll be watching some NBA games in HD, watching a Blu-ray movie or two (I haven't watched any of these yet: Casino Royale, The Fountain, The Prestige) and probably finishing up Drake's Fortune, or perhaps playing some COD4. I'll also probably play Super Stardust HD/Blast Factor/Everyday Shooter during halftime of the NBA games :p

    I'm alone in Switzerland for Xmas, some tens of thousands of km away from all my family and close friends. The few friends I have around here have dispersed to their various home continents to join their families, so gaming it is.

    I'll be playing Civilization IV, something you can spend a few days straight playing if you want, easily.

    I celebrate(/have celebrated ) :p Christmas the evening before, I don't really celebrate Christmas today.

    We are going to family and friends to wish a good year (2008)...

    Yesterday they gave me a lot of presents: They also gave me MOH: Airborne, so i will install (and play of course) MOH: Airborne today :)
    They also gave a check of a game store so I might buy Crysis or something else this week ^^

    (The rest of the presents are cinema tickets, a card to reload my GSM, ... :) )


    The only negative point is: I'm sick :(
    Yesterday I felt me more normal (thanks to medication lol) but now I really feel BAD

    I'll be playing once everyone else is asleep.
    I'll probably be playing Jedi Academy (old game, but still fun), World in Conflict and Gunz Online.
