Holiday Gamer’s Guide 2008
Family & Music
Guitar Hero: World Tour – I can’t say that I was too excited about this game because I’ve already played a band music game but there’s no denying that World Tour has some great tracks to play. The drum set is much better than Rock Band’s set and the guitar still feels much better as well. None of this really matters though because these music games offer great fun no matter their differences.
LIPS – I haven’t had the pleasure of playing this game but who doesn’t want to look like a fool in front of friends and family this holiday season singing away? The microphone accessories that come with it look very nice and even glow so at least you’ll look the part from an equipment standpoint.
Scene It? Box Office Smash – It’s movie trivia. What else do you need around the fireplace? You can either buy just the game for $40 or the bundle that includes the big button pads for $60. Either way, it’s a good deal for family fun.

i’m currently playing Prince of Persia.
yes i downloaded it for the pc first ..i know.. i know.. i just wasn’t sure about this game. but its all looking ok. i love the fact that you can play it with the 360 controller plugged into my laptop. i’m still trying to find mirrors edge at a discount price somewhere.
and to all people castle crashers is the one and only game that i’d pay the 1200 points for. its just that good.

I already have the chatpad (awesome!!!! got it for my b-day), Castle Crashers, and a Kingdom for Keflings. I guess I’ll take a look at some of your other recommendations!

Does the Chatpad tax the batteries on your controller much? or Does it have it’s own batteries?

[...] do not want to be stuck navigating Facebook or tweeting on Twitter with a controller. The Chatpad is essential. I’m not recommending a keyboard because of space and convenience. Who wants to sit there [...]
