GR's Holiday Gift Guide '05

, the weather outside is frightful... which is just one more good reason to stay inside, light a fire and waste away the Winter with some games. And boy, what a bountiful season it's been. With so many options, what do you want for Christmas / Hannukah / Kwanzaa?

Lucky for you, we at Game Revolution feel confident that we know what you want better than you do.

Welcome to our 9th annual Holiday Gift Guide. Stop stressing and start clicking!

This year we're proud to offer three ways to buy your games - quick links to our most excellent buddies at Amazon.com, Ebay.com and Pricegrabber.com so you can do all your game shopping without braving the bad weather, long lines and rude clerks.

Each product listed on the following pages should be considered well worth your cash, games that we ourselves will likely buy for our loved ones using our very own measly video game reviewer pay. We tried to focus on brand new games released over the past three months, but occasionally you'll find an older game here that we simply couldn't stand to neglect. Every product recommended in the Gift Guide has been thoroughly tested and reviewed and is currently available at retail. There is no pre-release hype here.

The guide will be continually updated until December 23rd - if you don't know what to buy by then, you're beyond our help. Be sure to check back often as new games are added!
