GAMETECH: The games worth checking out over Christmas

DID you ever get a TV for Christmas? Santa probably puts a lot of TVs on his sleigh. He’d make a great gamer, because he’s used to loading screens, writes Ronan Jennings.

That joke isn’t exactly a cracker (maybe fit for a Christmas cracker) but Christmas and gaming have never exactly delivered quality. In fact, there have been very few Christmas themed games over the years.

Unlike film or music, games don’t often stand the test of time – perennial entertainment like Die Hard and Last Christmas aren’t likely to be joined by Christmas Lemmings any time soon. We don’t envisage a family viewing of It’s a Wonderful Life being followed by Duke Nukem: Nuclear Winter, either.
