Every year I try to put together a Christmas list for that technically minded person in your family based upon what I want. Sometimes I have listed feel-good gifts but most of the time I list video games and other items that I would like to receive. Today I am going to restrict it to just video games. I must confess that I already own a bunch of these games and so this list is what I would like to play during the Holiday break when I am not skiing. Some of these are old games while others have just come out. That should give you a healthy mix of economical gifts as well as more expensive ones. Here is the list, in alphabetical order:
Battlefield 1: I really enjoyed playing Battlefield 3. I tried Battlefield 4 but lost interest after about an hour. I understand that EA figured out they need compelling story lines so that Battlefield 1 is much more engaging. I already have my copy of this game and look forward to finding some time to play it.
God of War 3: I have finished playing both 1 and 2 on the PlayStation 3 so now I want to play the remastered version of 3 on the PlayStation 4. I had hoped to start this evening but am getting really tired after waking up at 4:15 this morning to catch my flight to California and may begin tomorrow. Naturally I have a copy of this game already and have had it for quite some time.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: The Tomb Raider reboot is one of my favorite video games. It is along the same lines as the Uncharted series with a female protagonist instead of a male one. Those of you with XBox One consoles have been able to play this game for the past year, while those of us that favor the PlayStation 4 console have had to wait. The exclusivity is now over so I am looking forward to picking this game up and continuing the adventure.
Steep: I am a
huge fan of skiing and so I look forward to any well-done skiing or
snowboarding video game. When the oppressive heat of summer kicks in, I
head to my cool basement and pretend it is winter again. That will
probably be the case with this Ubisoft title as I don't own it yet.
However I have it on my Christmas list in the hopes that someone who
loves me will get me a copy.
Uncharted 3 & 4: I love the Uncharted games and have finished both 1
and 2. Now that I have more time, I will try to finish 3 and 4. It
may take me some time as I don't have huge amounts of time to play video
games. I already have my copies of each game.
The Walking Dead Season 3: I just saw that this will be released shortly. I played the first and second
seasons and am eagerly anticipating the next one. I have yet to
purchase the game but will look for it as soon as I complete one or two
other games on my list.
Yes I work for a video game company but I have tried to include a number of titles from other game publishers. I have also listed those games that have risen to the top of my want-to-play list. As I browsed through the catalog of video games I own and those available for video game consoles, I came across a number of games that sounded interesting but I didn't want my list to be too long. I want it to be honest. Now we will see how many of these I actually play this Christmas season.
