ICandee's Top Five: Christmas Strikes Back

Any true gamer knows that it's not always just about the games. There's a whole gaming subculture just waiting to crawl inside your head, squeeze your brain and ooze out of your ear like a ceti eel. Sure you could get games and points cards for Christmas but where's the fun in that?

I think you know where I'm going with this...

That's right...It's time for another...

ICandee's Top Five: Gimme Gimme Gimme!

1. Master Chief cufflinks from CufflinkConnection



2. Ms Pac-Man and pellet rings from little pretties by Rachel Pfeffer



3. Super Mario/Duck Hunt clock from 8-Bit Memory



4. Heartless hat from Armada Anime



5. Pet Metroid Larve from Phenocryst Miniatures



See? I call this: "gaming while not gaming" and it is awesome. And yes, you may buy me one of each, you thoughtful thing you!

Happy shopping (and gaming!)

All I Want For Christmas Is A Completely Harmless Wii Game

Yeah...uh, that doesn't have the same ring as "two front teeth" but whatever. Presenting an overload of cuteness and holiday cheer that is a must have for you Wii owners with small children that celebrate Christmas. (Leave to the Wii to provide us with a game no one asked for...and I'm so glad they did - cuteness is go!)



If you own a Wii, have small children, celebrate Christmas and don't get this game, I hope your tree burns to the ground. Okay, maybe that is a little extreme but listen, this game is super cute. We Wish You A Merry Christmas is a sweet little budget game from Destineer Games. And this game has a lot included for its $20 price tag.

Let's see...it has a few mini games, you can decorate a tree, write a letter to Santa Claus, color pictures, throw a log on the fire and roast marshmallows, plus it has a Christmas radio and an Advent calendar. Yes, Modern Warfare 2 it is not but we could all use a little brainless holiday gaming every once in a while, yes? And how could the modern parent not make gaming a part of their Christmas traditions? (As long as the Wii is around anyway)

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go turn the first day in my "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" Advent calendar and make hot chocolate for the elves. :D
