Chances are you've got a gamer or two - or three - in your family. Fortunately, with the quantity, variety, and sophistication of the electronic equipment orbiting the video game industry today - there are products for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It's no wonder digital game departments are flooding with consumers this holiday season.
But not all of us can keep up to par on the hottest hardware, accessories or peripherals. So here's a mini guide to some of best gift-choices for the gamer in your life:
Kinect - You're probably already familiar with this add-on for the Xbox 360, courtesy of Microsoft - but whether it's an apt choice for your gift recipient is another question. Kinect games are in general not as popular amongst the more advanced gamers of today - therefore it makes a great present for families and not-so-fanatic video game-heads. As an alternative, you might also consider firing up Kinect at your next holiday party where guests can participate in dance contests, brain tease-competitions or other not-so-intense games.
Nyko Zoom Box - Here's the perfect gift for your urban friend, your niece who just left for college - or any other person on your list who's got limited space to play in. Compact and simple, the Zoom can be fixed onto the front of a Kinect, taking away the need for Kinect's cameras which are notorious for hogging up space. With Zoom, players have enough room to perfect their virtual slam dunks without fear of knocking over a lamp or two.
Razer Onya Tournament Edition Controller - Hardcore gamers have this gadget on the very top of their wish-lists this year - it is the gift for the gamer who has made it his life's work to secure the championship in a virtual tournament. The Razer is top amongst serious players chiefly due to its wicked-fast response time, a precision D-Pad, and hypersensitivity to touch for boosted firing power.
Rocksmith Bundle - For a PC, PS3 or Xbox 360, this peripheral is more of an educational device than a game. Ideal for the gamer who wants to unleash his inner Jimi Hendrix, this tool is the closest you can get to live guitar lessons. The game is compatible with practically any real guitar and provides instruction via some of the most popular songs in a slew of genres to jam to and learn along with.
Assassin's Creed Apparel - This is probably the least expected of ideas when it comes to gifts for gamers - but by far the best way to stay within your budget. The Assassin Creed's new line, by Ubisoft, features T-shirts, caps and accessories (some for as little as $20) sporting the logo from the popular science fiction action-adventure game - a hip, creative flair that any dedicated gamer would sure love to add to her wardrobe.
These are just a few of the items on the market this season. There is a sea of gifts to choose for the video game connoisseur (as well as the novice) on your list - and luckily, the selection includes a winning gift at every price point.
