Guess who’s back?  It’s the Thanksgiving Gaming Guide 2010 edition!  Most of us are preparing to consume large amounts of turkey, stuffing, dressing, cranberry sauce and large amounts of pie tomorrow (and for leftovers).  Tomorrow I’m going to enjoy some family time on Thanksgiving Day and I wanted to leave my famous Thanksgiving Gaming Guide to assist you in properly implementing some gaming during the day. 

This method of proper gaming on Thanksgiving Day actually begins late night tonight as the preparation for the feast begins.

Wednesday, November 24th 9PM – 11PM

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX – I ain’t afraid of no ghosts and you shouldn’t be either.  Tighten up your reflexes and chomp down those pellets and ghosts.  Better reflexes will help you defend your dinner rolls from the likes of old Cousin Joey who likes to eat all the rolls.

Alan Wake – How exactly will you be able to stay up during the food preparation without Alan showing you how?  This game is one of my favorites and it’ll definitely provide enough motivation for you to stay awake into the midnight hour.  Stay out of the shadows and run into the light Carol Ann.  This is one of the sleeper hits of the year that you just have to play especially Episode Six.

Wednesday, November 24th 11PM – 1AM

Call of Duty: Black Ops – Hey even I know that a successful Thanksgiving dining takes a lot of accuracy and devastating crossbow skills.  You have to be able to channel your focus and get as much food inside your tummy as possible without comprising your health.

Black Ops is all about the mission and making sure you’re still alive to defend against those pesky zombies.  Staying alive in Black Ops means that you’ll have plenty of skills to properly eat on Thanksgiving Day.  Plus there’s nothing quite like blowing up zombies in the middle of the night is there?

Thursday, Thanksgiving Day

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit – Criterion Games joins the NFS family this year and you’ll once again be able to drive like never before.  I’m sure you were being rushed and called several times asking about when you’d arrive for the meal.  So why not take all of that nerve racking out on the cops in Hot Pursuit.  You can drive like a crazy fool and suffer no consequences.

Kinect Sports – Let’s face it…you’re definitely going to need to work off those pounds and this is the perfect game to do it.  Every piece of turkey and every spoon of dressing requires at least two rounds of Kinect Hurdles.  That should be a good measure of how much of Kinect Sports you should play.  There’s also Boxing included for those relatives that got too close to the cranberry sauce!

Relax, Chill and Play

Sit back and enjoy what you’ve accomplished.  Let your family marvel at your new skills of speed, reflex and knowledge.  I take no responsibility for how well or awful you do during the course of this guide.  And I surely take no responsibility for any meal disasters that may occur.

Happy Thanksgiving Day and happy gaming from yours truly!
