Gift Description: An HD remastering of Goldeneye 007, which was released last year for the Nintendo Wii. GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is not a remake of the N64 classic, but an homage to the original film and its counterpart game. The games share characters and events, but things have been updated to fit more with the modern Bond movies. That means Pierce Brosnan is out and Daniel Craig is in as 007.

The game features a single player campaign and multiplayer support for up to 16 players over 14 maps.

Who would love this gift? The Bond fanatic that needs everything named James Bond in their life. A fan of the original N64 classic that wants to see a different take on the original's story. 

Gift Price: $10 and up

Gift Description: Deus Ex: Human Revolution was released late summer, but it's action is so good and its RPG trappings so enthralling that it is still on gamers' minds all these months later. In the not-so-far-flung future, the world is dominated by super corporations. As Adam Jensen, the security chief of Sarif Industries, your job is to maintain the security of employees and their high tech projects. That of course doesn't work out so well and after a raid on Sarif's facilities, Jensen is nearly killed and has his body rebuilt with the help of cybernetics. Now part robot and part man, Jensen has to hunt down those responsible and find out the mystery of who attacked the corporation.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a shooter with RPG character progression and stealth-action gameplay. Best yet, it allows players to tackle issues and situations however they want. Some players might choose to sneak into a facility looking for answers, others may blow down the doors and kill everything and everyone in sight in the search for the truth. That's just one of the things that makes the game interesting and fun.

Who would love this gift?  Cyberpunk fans and sci-fi geeks will love the ability to customize your character into their ultimate vision. The game works for people that want run and gun shooting and those that prefer hiding in the shadows with the use of stealth.

Gift Description: The Saints Row franchise has always been the wacky, zany cousin of Grand Theft Auto, but now, the 3rd Street Saints have reached near-celebrity status and the franchise has never been wackier. After defeating all of the rival gangs and overthrowing the Ultor Corporation, the Saints have turned into pop culture icons, complete with an energy drink and clothing line. Get ready for over-the-top, crazy and outlandish action that will make your mother blush.

Saint's Row: The Third continues the series setting of an urban sandbox playground, but really ramps it up with a serious amount of variety and what you do. Like to fly harrier jets? Check. Like to shoot guys out of cannons? Check. Like to take a tank into the city streets and cause mayhem? Double check. Did we mention this game is over the top?

Who would love this gift? If you know someone that loves sandbox games, the insanity that is Saints Row: The Third will provide them with more than enough hilarious and wacky shooter craziness this holiday season.
