Well it is that time of year once again. Where the majority of us wait until the last waning moments of December 24th, and rush through the now barren isles of our local stores, only to leave with a gift card for our loved one. This year why not take the Wampa by the horns and get that perfect gift for the geek/gamer in your life with more than 24 hours to spare!
The Easy Fix
The first item on the list almost seems like cheating. If the individual you are shopping for loves video games and doesn't own this game yet, this is almost a given. Boasting improvements to gameplay all across the board and quests that will keep you busy far past the end of winter, for $60 you simply cannot find a bigger bang for your buck. I've sunk about 15 hours into this game, and already it is my vote for Game of the Year.

Old Faithful
If your looking to buy for someone who loves adventure, but isn't up for the darker tone of the M rated Skyrim, the perfect fit is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Exploration, swordplay and much more await in this amazing addition to the Legend of Zelda games. To experience the awesomeness that is Skyward Sword, you will need Wii Motion Plus, if you or the one you are buying for doesn't have Wii Motion Plus, have no fear!
Grab this bundle pack and you get a brand spankin new copy of the game along with the awesome gold wii mote with built in motion plus. You also get a music cd packed full of Zelda tunes from the Zelda 25th anniversary concert.
Gear for any Gamer
I started using Turtle Beach gaming headsets over two years ago, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are available for practically every console and for PC, and come in a variety of price ranges and functionality. The headsets brings out sounds in game that you have never heard before in amazing clarity. If your gamer is playing a FPS online, they will be able to rack up their K/D ratio in no time with the help of these headsets. It really helps you pin point where the bullets are flying from and which corner the opponent just ran around. Another huge plus to the headset is the fact that you don't have to involve the entire house in every game you play. You have amazing audio quality wrapped around your ears, while the rest of the world can go on in peace.
Well that is all the tips I have for you today, have fun shopping and have a great holiday season!
