Good Games For Christmas?

Since nothing really interesting seems to be happening today (unless you count some lame overpriced scooter) I figured I'd throw this out. We've discussed christmas presents in general, but what about refining the subject to just video games? With Final Fantasy 10 not due out until the day after christmas, what new games are coming out? Please mention systems in your subject line. Personally I just finished Klonoa 2 and enjoyed it, I'm maybe half way through Grand Theft Auto 3 and am absolutely in love, and just picked up Metal Gear Solid 2 but have yet to break the celophane, but can't wait. On the PC side, The Sims Hot Date expansion pack is pretty smooth if your idea of fun is micromanaging an armada of virtual people. I hope a psychiatrist never analyzes my Sims style.

Don't worry, it's just typical of everyone to not be wowed and amazed to something that looks just ordinary. Unless it has three eyes, gills, a tentacle, and runs on thirteen different 486's running Linux, the Slashdot crew, like much of the world (including my coworkers!) won't think it's that amazing.

Invest now, and watch as an 'ordinary, just-another-scooter' invention becomes the next big thing within 10 years.

People keep slamming on Steve Jobs for touting it as the Next Big Thing, because after all, he only invented Apple Computers and they never did so well. Considering he helped invent the entire desktop PC, which MS stole GUI ideas and other things from, I honestly don't know why slashdot (users and site operators alike) is being so gay about IT.

For Christmas I want:
IT, Segway, Ginger, whatever you call it.
Civ3 - I already got it, but highly recommend it
Return to Castle Wolfenstein - if my computer had a GeForce3 it would run fine for me, and I played the multiplayer test more than CS over the past few weeks!
GeForce3 - to run games better on my PC
PS2 + Final Fantasy 10 - give me a gift certificate to Best Buy, I can wait a few weeks ;)

Yes I strayed off-topic a bit, but somebody had to do it.

Probably the same way they would have before September 11th, excersizing freedoms which allow them to create whatever they like.

Beautiful thing, a free country, where people can do something despite it being politically incorrect.

If SOME people got their way, all movies with references to the twin towers would be destroyed. That is so goddamn scary.

We are at war with afganistan. We have always been at war with afganistan. We are allies with britain. We have always been allies with britan.

If you understand the above paragraph, you understand why I think it's so scary. The mutability of the past is NOT fiction, but a goal that most people and governments seem to strive towards! :(
