Help! I'm trapped ...

You know what's weird, that was going to be the title of my next blog even if the people before me hadn't already done it. Guess someone was reading my mind again (it happens a lot to me).

Anyhoo I'm in a bit of a fix, It's my birthday on the 14th (monday) and (quite obviously) my mom is going to be buying me some presents. When asked what i want i came out with four different video games (and some other stuff like D.V.D's and C.D's and junk) feeling quite happy about myself…Well that was until my mom said she was only going to buy me two of those four video games…needless to say i was (wasn't) devastated. So then my mom said 'pick two of those games and tell me before i go get your presents on saturday (tommorow)'… I still haven't chosen which two i'm going to be getting. So i thought I'd list my choices here, the reason why i want to get them and let all of you help me decide…If you'd be so kind :P. So here we go

Okami - Nintendo Wii

When i first saw this game on the PS2 i immediately thought 'hey that game looks like a zelda game'. Of course at the time i only owned a nintendo Gamecube as wasn't going to buy a whole console for just one game. So imagine my delight when it got announced for the Wii, now i finally had a chance to play it, i will get this game eventually anyway but should i get it for my birthday?

Grand theft auto IV - Xbox 360

Firstly…i've never played a Grand theft auto game…ever. I never saw the appeal of running around a city doing mindless stuff, but having tried (and hated) true crime : streets of L.A i've been dying to play a good 'sandbox' game, and now (finally having an XBox 360) i have the chance to play it. Should i get this for my birthday simply because i've never tried a GTA game?

Tomb Raider Anniversary - Nintedo Wii

I remember playing the very first tomb raider on the psone at my friends house a long time ago and i pretty much hated it. However i recently took a plunge back into the series with tomb raider : Legend, and i've got to say i thoroughly enjoyed it, and so when tomb raider : Anniversary was announced for the wii i was filled with mild excitement. I liked the last one, but is that a good enough reason to get this for my birthday?

Race Driver : Grid - XBox 360

I only own one serious racing game (Project gotham racing 3). Which thinking about it is rather strange because i love racing games, i probably don't like serious racers as much as mario kart style ones but i still do like them. Seeing as I've only got one serious racing game i'd really like another, more up to date one. I've seen trailers, gameplay footage and have read reviews and everything i've seen/heard so far seems pretty good, but is that enough reason to get it for my birthday?

So there you go, my four choices. The two games that i am leaning to at the moment are Okami and GTA IV, however the other two are screaming out 'buy me, buy me'. Looking at the charts that people have been making it's clear to me that music taste is completely different to most of you, however our gaming tastes are very similar. So here's hoping you can all help me narrow this choice of four down to two…over and out

Thought I haven't played any of the games up there I'd suggest you get GTAIV and Okami myself. Okami is one of those games that just looks polished to perfection and GTA, well it's GTA so you know it's going to be good.

Rawr, I wasn't. Just saying GTA was better when it was exaggerated.
