1. Halo 3 for Xbox 360 is my number one pick. Like it or not, it's the game that all the kids are talking about at school this year. If by some miracle you have an Xbox 360 and haven't purchased this game before Christmas, then it's one you must have. The graphics are incredible, the AI is much improved and it's even fun to watch.

2. BioShock is a completely different game. I call it the scariest game I've ever seen on a console, sure I lead a somewhat sheltered life, but I think that BioShock got everything right in this genre. It's a Zombie horror-fest with lots of twists and turns, excellent graphics and game play.

3. Gears of War - The first thing I heard about Halo 3 was that it wasn't as good as Gears of War. GoW is a tactical fighter, you need to think to play Gears of War, it's more like America's Army than say Quake. It's about time that all of these "war" type games got realistic, after all in real battle it only takes one bullet to kill you.

There you have it, a list of some very good games available for this Christmas. Of course every person has their favorite games and I'm sure that there will be some people who's favorite didn't make this list, but the list is a good starting point, especially if there is a gamer on your list and you don't play yourself.more

Monopoly Here and Now Edition

While few families don't have a Monopoly game in their home, this isn't the classic version most people have. This is a completely updated version with new game pieces and new properties. Gone are the 4 railroads and in their place are major US airports. Gone are the utilities, they are replaced by cell phone and Internet companies. Gone are the shoe, old car and hat, all replaced by pieces like a jumbo jet, coffee mug and cell phone. In this Monopoly edition, the prices are all updated too, where Baltic Avenue used to be just $60, it's replacement, Texas Stadium is now $600,000. Sound like too much change? You'll be glad to know that the original Monopoly is still available.
