My Gaming Holiday Gift Guide

So, I’ve eventually got around to posting this. I’m sure quite a lot of you will disagree with some of my suggestions, but there is so much great games and hardware that have released this year that it’s impossible to squeeze them all in! 

GAMES:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - £39.99 // $59.99 

With an awesome story, addictive new Survival Mode, and a more expansive multiplayer experience than ever before, this game will keep you coming back throughout the year. If you’ve not picked it up (I’m sure some of you haven’t), do so. Like, now.

1yr Call of Duty Elite Membership -  £34.99 // $49.99

Back when Activision announced Call of Duty Elite, there was a lot of confusion surrounding its features and price. Once they cleared this up, people began to realise how good of a deal this is. With this Elite subscription, you will get access to ELITE TV, exclusive clan benefits, ALL Modern Warfare 3 DLC, and much more.

Batman: Arkham City -  £39.99 // $59.99 

This is possibly my game of the year. The main story isn’t exactly short, but once you have completed that, there’s some side quests for you to complete, as well as DLC (more coming on December 20th). Rocksteady have really outdone themselves with Arkham City!

CONSOLE BUNDLES: 

Call of Duty: MW3 Limited Edition Xbox 360 - £229.99

This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 branded Xbox 360 console not only looks great, but it also comes complete with two Modern Warfare 3 controllers, a 320GB hard drive, and a copy of the game.

Xbox 360 250GB Console with Forza 4, Battlefield 3 - £199.99

A fantastic introduction to Xbox 360. This bundle comes complete with a three month subscription to Xbox LIVE, a new Xbox Media Remote, and two blockbuster titles, Battlefield 3 and Forza 4.

PlayStation 3 with Battlefield 3 and NFS: The Run - £199.99

Packing a 160GB hard drive, a copy of Battlefield 3, and a copy of Need for Speed: The Run, this PlayStation 3 bundle is great for those considering picking up a PS3 for the first time!

OTHER:  

12 Month Subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold  £34.99 // $49.99

You can’t go wrong with a gift like this. Xbox LIVE Gold is required to play multiplayer games (among other things) on Xbox LIVE, so any hardcore gamer will treat this as a welcome gift!

4200 Microsoft Points Card - £32.99 // $49.99  

On Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Points is your currency. 4200MSP is a pretty sizeable amount, which can be used for Avatar Items, DLC, Games on Demand, and XBLA. 

Astro Gaming A40 Audio System - £239.99 // $249.99

The Astro A40 Audio System, complete with MixAmp, is great for multiplayer games. Hearing the enemies footsteps as he attempts to creep up on you will give you a pretty significant advantage! Not only is the product great, but Astro’s customer support is pretty awesome too.
