Man, that is some haul!  I got Tomb Raider Legend because I bought it for myself and put it under the tree.  ;/

I bought for the family:

Cooking Mama Wii (Wife)
Ben10 Wii  (6 year old Son)
Boom Blox Bash Party Wii (Family)
Excitebots Wii (Family)
Disney Princess Wii (3 year old Daughter)
Littlest Pet Shop Wii (4 year old Daughter)
Rogue Squadron II GC/Wii (6 year old son (and me too!))
Banjo Nuts and Bolts 360 (Family)
and
Peggle Nights 360 (Wife)

I also picked up Shadow Complex the week or two before Christmas when it was the deal of the week.  If you like Metroid or Castlevania... it seems this is the game for you.  I happen to love Metroid, so I am enjoying it a ton.

Also, don't play the China based level of Tomb Raider Legend while your wife is walking through the room.  Lara is wearing a combat modified black evening gown that is... well... I learned this lesson the hard way.

Also, slightly upset that my manly 6 year old little man has spent more time playing the Pet Shop Game than the manly games I got him.  That's what two little sisters and countless Barbie movies will do to a guy.

Also (x3!) I will probably play Dragon Age in 2020 or so.  I played 120 hours of Oblivion last year from Nov-Apr.  I got even further behind in the backlog of games to inlcude Fallout 3 which I will play in 2015.  The wife and I finished KotOR last summer and are 10% or so into KotORII.  We'll finish that in 2010, so we can play Mass Effect 1 in 2011.  That means Mass Effect 2 in 2012.  2013 and 2014 are up for grabs, but I'm sure something will come along...  We still need to play Windwaker and Twilight Princess too...
