Special Christmas Features In Games?

Posted by simoniker on from the ho-ho-ho dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Some online and offline videogames make special changes for the holiday season. There's the Planetside Christmas decorations, where Sony has embedded the holidays into their futuristic online war, and also a Christmas mutator for Unreal Tournament 2003. What other holiday changes are people seeing in their gaming today?" Phantasy Star Online has also instituted some neat changes for Xmas.

    The YDKJ series includes special features for all sorts of holidays and anniversaries. It also checks the system clock, and will greet you with things like "weeeeelcome to the insomniac edition of you don't know jack!"

    The really old game The Incredible Machine (and the other expansion packs/versions) would give you holday themed objects.

    AFAIK, they had a christmas tree, a halloween jack-o-lantern, and a thanksgiving turkey.

    That was a great game.
