It's been a hectic year for video games.

Hundreds of titles have been released. The industry has been rocked by scandal. We saw the launch of an impressive next-gen console, and like a weird kind of family, there's another one on the way.

How, then, is a parent or friend to decide what's best for the gamer in their life this holiday season?

These are the games that we like and we hope will make your loved gamer squeal and bounce like kids jacked up on Red Bull and Reese's.
