The tree is up, the lights are on, the stockings are over the fireplace and everyone’s getting into the eggnog. It’s Christmas and it’s the best time of year.
Nothing beats Christmas; it’s the time for fun and play, for family and friends. It’s the chance to get away from work and reset the batteries. And, of course, it’s the perfect time to knock off some of those games that you just haven’t been able to get around to.
As is tradition for Digitally Downloaded we’re going to count down the 24 games of Christmas – one a day for each day from December 1 through to December 24. The fun, the silly and the crazy, these games have been custom picked by the DDNet editorial team to give you plenty of ideas for stocking fillers, games to play with family and friends on Christmas Eve, or games you should use the extra time over the holiday to get stuck into.
They often say that Christmas is the day for children – and in many ways that is true. Nothing is quite like seeing children get completely wrapped up in the atmosphere of Christmas.
So it’s entirely within the spirit of Christmas to play a game that is all about nostalgia for childhood. Attack of the Friday Monsters is perhaps the greatest example of that that you’ll find in a game, anywhere.
Another advantage is that as a holiday project this one isn’t that time intensive. Four or five hours and you’re done with it, making it the perfect game for when you’re too busy partying to play something in-depth.
