Opinion for Xmas

[General Salty]

I'm not trying to have my wife spend too much on me this Xmas for various reasons, so I've come down to 2 options:

Dark Knight + Iron Man + Transformers blu-rays

or

Dark Knight + a game (don't know which game yet)


Which would you choose?

If you pick the game option, what game would you go for? I'm very open to suggestions.

i'm a movie guy myself. but i also don't have time to play games the way i did 6 months ago. little ones take up a lot of time and my little 6 month old man likes chewing on cords so i try to keep them put away.

[Terjyn]

Can you give more information on the game option?

What do you have? What kind of games do you like?

Without that information I'd go with the Dark Knight + Little Big Planet. It's probably cutesy enough to get your wife involved.

[General Salty]

I have:
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
GTA IV
Lego Star Wars
Kung Fu Panda
Tony Hawk
NCAA 09
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Wipeout HD
Super Stardust

I've never been a big FPS fan, but I'm open to suggestion there as well.

I have kids, hence the Lego and Kung Fu Panda and also, I can relate to Benny on the time factor. I still get my games anyway.

if you want something the whole family can play.. Little Big Planet is awesome! My wife who never plays video games i enjoy (FPS) and only likes to play Lego Indiana Jones, well even she is hooked on it. My nephews as well, who are 8 and 10 came over this past weekend and couldn't put it down. Really addictive and insanely fun.

[General Salty]

Yea, I have definitely been eyeing LBP

[CYMBOL]

Movie and a game - the game will have a lot more "bang for your buck" as far as entertainment value (hours and hours, vs. 2 hours). LBP is a good family game - and, if it's too difficult for the kids, you can always just create an easy level.

You can always rent the other two movies you don't get - or wait till a birthday or Father's day to request them.

You should've gotten Ironman and Transformers on Amazon BF, that would've cost you a total of 24 bucks.

As for your question, I would get a game for the whole family, I recommend Buzz or Singstar, I play those with the fam all the time.

I would forget Iron Man and get a game.

I say that because, IMHO, Iron Man is way to similar, in both concept and many plot elements, to Batman.

Independently wealthy loner who was orphaned at a young age, with a secret and an adoring assistant who is the only one that understands him (albeit Alfreds character is now a female), cool toys, etc.

Even the intro is glaringly similar to the batman movies.


Another poster mentioned singstar - I recently read singstar PS3 mic is still proprietary - can't use Rockband/guitar hero/other mic. - which I find ironic, since Sony apparently forced crossgame peripheral compatibility the respective makers of those games.

I hear you on the Amazon BF but honestly any kind of shopping was not on my mind that day, so I didn't even check.

While I agree with you, I still like the Iron Man movie.

[Deadset]

I'd get:

Dark Knight
Iron Man

for sure...

then maybe find a hellaova deal on a game for $20-30 bucks.

[Deadset]

Here you go...

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - $14.96 PS3

Now you are setup!

[SoCalTiger]

Well this is the PS3 forum =) so I'd have to say either TDK or IM and a game. What game is up to you.
