More Holiday games

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
For Nintendo Wii

Twilight Princess has probably been the most anticipated game of the year. Seeing multiple delays, and an eventual shift in release platforms, Twilight Princess has finally arrived. The results of the delays for extra fine-tuning are nothing short of monumental. Offering a score of 10 out of 10, 1up.com describes this game as “a 60-hour adventure where every moment is memorable.” If you love classic Zelda style adventures and are interested in a greatly implemented wireless control scheme, don’t hesitate to pick this one up. I’d say this title is eligible for EU’s Game of the year.

Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam
For Nintendo Wii

If you are a hardcore fan of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series, this game may or may not be for you. Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam took out all the “street skating” aspects, replacing them with solid downhill fun. Though the controls have been designed specifically for the Wii’s motion sensitive controller, they are never intimidating, and as a whole the experience is a lot of fun. While the experience is a little more flashy than real downhill skating might seem, all of the fun is there and as far as racing games are concerned, this is the best one so far on the Wii.

Resistance: Fall of Man
For Playstation 3

If you are looking for the Killer App for the Playstation 3, Resistance is here to fill those shoes. Offering a solid control scheme and well laid-out levels, resistance keeps up with the best of the genre. With great graphics and extremely huge multiplayer online functionalities, this game comes through with flying colors. While it isn’t quite up there with games like Halo 2 and Gears of War, Resistance: Fall of Man is nothing to scoff at. With a slew of lackluster launch titles on the PS3, This one truly stands out.
