More Holiday Gametastic from CoinOpTV: The Hottest Games of the Month

The holiday season is a time for togetherness. For sharing and giving, and for seeing those assholes in the family who only appear once a year (and remembering why that's the case). As such, it's a good time for some communal gaming.

Or for getting your game on all on your lonesome, while your sister's seventeen whining urchins are over and hopped up on chocolate. Whichever works for you.

Spending four hours explaining to great grandma how the controller works for Wii Sports. That first Game Boy you were given in 1991. For all of us in the Gamingverse, these memories can define this time of year. So, CoinOpTV, what should we be playing this holiday season?

December 2014 isn't the most ball-busting month for video games. Depending on how desperate you are to bust out Captain Toad's Treasure Trackers or some BS like that. Still, the pick of the crop is worth a perusal.

The first installment of the Game of Thrones game, Iron from Ice, has arrived, as has Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. Then there's The Crew, which has been dicking us around with its promise of drive-really-quite-fast-indeed action for some time now. Fancy-ass cars, boobtacular archaeologists, an extra little dose of Halo... what's not to like?
