haha. I had the exact conversation with Mrs B. It didn't go well

mate of mine at work clued me in to how folks with kids get around this; ask the cherubs to pick out the present then it will never be wrong ... plus they do all the running around while you relax with a nice baileys/coffee.

# My mate has a sweet deal
Him and his missus both go on Amazon and stock up on whatever they want to a set amount.

Job done.

# Same conversation here....
...which the missus instigated. Which makes it a bound contract. Now how do I get her to buy me Modern Warfare 2....

# Make sure you go with her
or you'll end up with MoH: Airborne.

"Well, it's a war game, isn't it?"

# I've played both
and Dragon's Age is a very close 2nd :D

Tbh, I'm selling old DVDs on play.com at the mo to get some credit; halfway to Modern Warfare 2 so far.

Also, keeping myself busy with Mass Effect for the time being, damn good game.

# Not half. ME2 out next year :D
BioWare is one of those game houses where I basically buy anything they release.

# Yeah.
I've tried with recent Square releases, but just get bored of them after oh about a hundred hours!

Downhill since FF8 IMHO

# actually converted and playing FF8 on the psp atm
Never finished it, so I'm going through it again, good for a handheld game :D

# I never 'got' mass Effect
I spent an afternoon on it, and thought it was the dullest game I'd ever played.

Looked great, played like treacle.

The missus bought me Ghostbusters, and Beatles Rock band for my birthingtons the other day.

They are both good fun. Ah, I remember when games were fun

One of those that benefits from a couple of runs through. the vehicle gameplay was toss though.
