Fortunately, there’s no need to worry for the following ten listed games are among the best hitting the markets before this Christmas all across the world. (Listed in no particular order)
Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2)
Rock Band 2, the sequel to the highly acclaimed Rock Band game, further extends the amazing experience brought on by the its predecessor. The game features the same layout and game play as the first; making some tweaks and improvements to some aspects that were flawed as well as adds new features to experience such as a completely revamped single player career, battle of the bands challenges, and a drum trainer. With a song catalog now consisting of over 500 tracks, this game is a must buy for any music lover.
Guitar Hero World Tour (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2)
For years, the Guitar Hero series has never failed to entertain the masses even through its massive evolutions. The latest installment, Guitar Hero World Tour, features game play as a full band instead of the classic guitar. With a stellar track list, great visuals, a 4 VS 4 online Battle of the Bands mode, an incredibly in depth character creator, tons of unlockable music icons such as Sting, Ozzy, Billy Corrigan, and Ted Nugent, as well as the revolutionary Music Studio that actually allows the player to completely create their own track for the game, the game fails to disappoint and will probably be found on millions of Christmas Lists around the world.
Lips (Xbox 360)
Is the full band experience just not your thing? Do you want to play literally any song ever created? Well, maybe Lips is more suited to you than Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Lips is much like the acclaimed Karaoke Revolution series which consists of the player singing a song on the game while trying to match the pitch and correct words to score more points. The most outstanding feature of Lips is that, if connected to Xbox Live, one can connect their mp3 player the Xbox and literally play every single song on it in the game perfectly. Lips is surely on of the biggest titles for parties this holiday season.
Wii Music (Wii)
Since the launch of the Wii, fans have been avidly waiting the arrival of the game the introduced the Wii; Wii Music. Wii Music features a cascade of playable instruments, a number greater than 60, that the player can completely and accurately play using their Wii controller. The game is highly addicting and music lovers around the world will be found creating their own orchestral masterpiece using the incredible music-making abilities of Wii Music.
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)
Music games not your thing? Are you looking for a fast-paced, action-packed, thrill-arousing shooter? Gears of War 2 will definitely deliver. Fans of the original game will not be disappointed one bit. The campaign is just as exhilarating, the multiplayer is just as intense, and the graphics are just beautiful. Gears is more than likely the best looking game out on any system by far. With many of the same aspects from the original with nothing getting taken away, just improvements and additions, Gears of War 2 is a must buy for any hardcore gamer.
Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS, PC, PSP)
Almost every single self-respecting gamer has heard of the Call of Duty series. The newest installment to the critically acclaimed shooter franchise is World at War, which takes the game back home: World War 2. Being the sequel to last years game of the year, the hype alone for this game is enough to sell millions of copies. Luckily, the game play does not disappoint one bit.
Fallout 3 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Some gamers, much like myself, have never heard of the Fallout series until the newest installment was announced. Developed by
Shaun White Snowboarding (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2)
For many years, games featuring skating pro, Tony Hawk, have dominated the gaming market. Unfortunately, it seems as if Tony has become old and overused. The developers answer to this, is Shaun White. Much like the Tony Hawk games, Shaun White’s new game is the first in depth, great snowboarding game that has hit the market in awhile. The console that the game is outstanding on though is the Wii. Because of the technology used with the sensor bar and Wii Balance Board, the player feels right in the action. They use the Board as the snowboard and hold the Wiimote and Nunchuck controllers out beside them and directly control their character. Because of this, this snowboarding game will surely be one the most popular experiences this holiday.
Little Big Plant (PS3)
Unlike every other game listed, Little Big Planet is an immensely huge and inventive platformer, not a shooter or rhythm based game. Unlike most platformers gamers are familiar with, Little Big Planet Is completely multiplayer with up to 4 players, online and offline. The game play is highly addictive but the outstanding feature is the limitless combinations able to be used to create your own levels. Little Big Planet just may be the best game released for the PS3 since its launch.
Chrono Trigger (DS)
Though just a remake of the original version for the SNES, Chrono Trigger is a timeless adventure that never gets old. It was once considered the greatest RPG of all time and after playing through it once again, one will be able to see why it got this title. It had an innovative combat system, a compelling story, and some of the most lovable characters at the time. Though quite aged, the game is extremely nostalgic and the remake will definitely reach a wider audience and a new generation of gamers. Chrono Trigger is seems to be best RPG experience offered on the DS.
