Shacknews Holiday Game Guide

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the shopping-made-easier dept.

rosewood writes "Shacknews' Jason Bergman, aka loonyboi has his 'Holiday Buying Guide 2002' up and ready to read. PC, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, and Gameboy Advance and over 70 games are covered! You can also look up how other games have rated each game at Shackreviews." Not every game is touched on in-depth, but it's a great resource to narrow down the choices for that special gamer in your life.

    BLOFELD: Ha ha, Mr Bond. You see, with this massively parallel supercomputer I can control every satellite in the world and destroy your precious civilization!

    BOND: Does it have any games?

    BLOFELD: What?

    BOND: You know. Counter Strike. Warcraft. Quake.
