If You Could Get Just One Game This Christmas...

If you could get just ONE game this holiday season, what would it be?
New or old, doesn't matter. Whether it's an old classic you never got
your chance to play, or the latest release (or even some game just
announced that won't actually be out for a year or three), which games
tops your list?

Given the nature of the newsgroup, obviously PC games are preferred,
but so long as you limit it to digital games (no tabletop here, but
arcade machines are fine ;-), we wanna hear it.



So, this is a tough one for me, since most games I WANT I usually get
in short order. A month ago, "Mechwarrior 5: Clans" probably would
have topped that list. Then I bought it (and played it), so it got
bumped.

Of those that are left, well, I have a hard time choosing, so I'm
going to immediately break my own rules about it being ONE game and
offer a selection.


    - "Kingdom Come: Deliverance II" is definitely up there, even
      though I know very little about the game other than I quite
      enjoyed the original.

    - "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024", even though right now it's
      just too buggy and expensive for a game I know I won't play
      very much.

    - The next five years of expansions for "American Truck
      Simulator" rank pretty highly. I want to roam the entire
      country and waiting for the next state to drop every other
      month is /agonizing/

    - Oh, and "Bedlam 2: Absolute", a sequel to 1996 DOS shooter
      which apparently came out but there's very little information
      about the game and I've never seen it. There's a gap in my
      collection. It hurts, it hurts!


Oh, and so many more. My wishlist is overflowing, Santa!

What's on the top of your most-wanted?
