a quick pause (not ranting the Wii)

As the author of A Red Letter Blog (has dinged the 24th level of life a few days ago, congratz again) wrote in his latest post, that there are games that you usually play or associate with the holidays. I myself don't have specific game that I play; it's more of the 'form of play' that has me enthralled this time of year. Xmas is all about putting the x-factor in perspective, playing a game-mode such as multiplayer to the maX. A few examples:

* Super Monkey Ball <- load a the race-mode with four players and max the length of laps (around 40 laps if I remember correctly, or was it 60?) and I can guarantee hours of competitive gaming 'le mans' style but in these gigant ape-balls, that truely proves who's the real champion and who's not.

* Civ <- in multiplayer mode this kinda works itself; xmas-05 was endless nights of gaming...

Whatever game you choose to play - play it to the bone, (Christmas-)bitch!

Ps. Eternal Forces (made by Left Behind -anything to do with good old Slipknot?) has a pretty good concept, I like it, except the narrator, etc, but still a perfect xmas gift for your loved ones. Putting the X mark on the spot of Mas -06.
