Games you associate with Christmas

[Darren]

Parasite Eve.

 

[Lee__Kanker]

A great god of war/DMC 1 like game. And it was made by Capcom Studio 3! View attachment 6304

AKA The Real Devil May Cry 2

It introduces mechanics that would re appear in dmc4 and bayonetta

 

[bjork]

The DLC for Costume Quest is "Grubbins on Ice" and it's kinda Christmas themed? You still go trick or treating but it's snowy and I feel like dudes are dressed up as santas and whatnot. Also, Raw Danger for PS2 takes place at Christmas, but it's about a flood destroying an entire region, so it isn't really festive, heh.

sure! as long as you would genuinely recommend them

I've played Earthbound Holiday Hex, Super Mario: A Christmas Walk, SMW: Christmas Edition, Super Mario Bros. 2 Christmas Edition, Mario's Christmas Quest, Pokemon Christmas Hack, Toad's Christmas Adventure, Super Santa Bros., though not a rom hack, I've also played Snow Bros, though I haven't played any of these rom hacks lately.

 

[BassForever]

The whole game isn't Christmas themed, but one level in Elite Beat Agents is and it's amazing.

 

[RageBurner]

Yeah I know tye date is already past depending on where you are in the world, but I was curious: are there games you find yourself replaying around Christmas time that have become routine staples?

They don't have to be Christmas themed by the way, and for once I don't have a personal example, hah.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

I dont mean to repeat myself since I mentioned this in my article yesterday but it’s Yakuza 5 and bully

 

[Stookymalarkey]

For me, it's Parasite Eve and Donkey Kong Country. The former because it takes place around X-mas. The later was due to me getting the game in December '94 and the Ice Caves music is forever etched in my mind as Christmas music.

There's also Christmas Nights into Dreams. I only seen it in articles in the old Game Players magazine, but it was most Christmas thing I've seen in a game up to that point.

 

[Pockets]

One of the first levels of Gex 3 is Christmas themed so I've always associated that game with Christmas.

Aside from that Silent Hill Shattered Memories is a very snowy and wintery game if you're up for something spooky.

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Banjo-Kazooie's Freezeezy Peak level.

 

[Tbest25]

We did it, boys and girls. We live to see another December, and with that comes twinkle lights, winter and Mariah Carey. My hatred for her seems to grow larger every year .
I know people watch movies as a tradition in December, but what about games?
Thinking about that, i got curious: do you guys play any Christmas related video games on December, as a tradition?

 

[ThunderBoy]

For Christmas.... SNATCHER!!

 

[χKai]

Happy Birthday, Jesus

I usually play something Christmas-related or winter-themed, as it also represents Solstice

 

[SpcDaicon]

There is this really old DOS game that I loved as a child.

It's a simple plataformer but I never got to finish it back in the day. After years searching, I found a full gameplay on youtube.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Bully has a pretty funny Christmas mission, since the game has changing seasons.

 

[X y b e r - S k u ll]

I usually play Kingdom Hearts 2 around this time of year, usually for the Nightmare Before Christmas world lol

 

[brettd94]

James Pond: Robocod.

.

All the levels are themed around Christmas toys and candy

 

[Tbest25]

I usually play Kingdom Hearts 2 around this time of year, usually for the Nightmare Before Christmas world lol

That's the first game that comes to mind in terms of christmas games

 

[ThatOneLum ThatOneLum]

I literally couldn't begin to list the games that I play at Christmastime each year.

I'm sort of obsessed with this time of year, so I tend to go a bit nuts. I even enjoy the heck out of those Christmas Stories HOG games that LGR covered on his channel years back. They're fuckin' strange but basically HOG/Adventure Game hybrids.

 

[Questless Knight]

My go to Christmas games to played each year for the past decade has been Terraria and Skyrim. This year it will only be Skyrim because when I did full achievement run on Terraria I kind of burned my self out on it. Maybe I throw in some minecraft maybe build a igloo or cabin in a Ice spikes or snowy plains biome.

Honestly I don´t rely care much for christmas anymore. I did when I was a kid but now as an adult all that joy is gone. Im dead sick of the same damn christmas dinner we eat every damn year, Im sick and tired of putting up all the pointless fluff and im to broke to buy any prenstens. Last time I even got presents my self was 25 years ago.

I will not celebrate chiristmas at all this year past few years I only celberated it becuse of the kids but with no kids living home anymore well no need to.

So I say Frack christmas let it burn in hell and by god if I heard Carry a single time this year I will hang my self.

[Mopeybloke]

The only Christmas game I've played and finished was Daze Before Christmas for the Mega Drive.

 

[JellyjamLu]

Oh this one is easy for me:

 

[TheMinuMaster]

My December is always reserved for playing my favorite games, nothing new, just the ones that strongly evoke nostalgia.
