I’m not going to bother with a formal introduction of sorts since we all know nearly every holiday—be it Christmas or Diwali—calls for gifts. Now in case you have no clue as to what gadgets your loved ones would like to see in their Christmas stockings this year, don’t panic, you’ve come to the right place. We at Tech2.com aim on making your life a lot simpler, so what we’ve done is created Christmas Buying Guides for nearly every category, gaming included. Kick back, relax the body (and the wallet) and check out some of the hottest games that would make ideal gifts this Christmas.

Gears of War (Xbox360)

Epic’s tactical shooter that took the entire Xbox 360 community by storm (us included) has finally been launched in India. If you’re one of those skeptics who feel this game’s a tad over hyped, you may want to check out our review to see why this game deserves your hard earned dough. If that’s not enough, how about the fact that this game’s Multiplayer is so sweet, its even overtaken Halo 2 to become the most played game on Xbox Live. To sum it all up, if any of your loved ones do own an Xbox 360 (and are old enough to handle the blood and gore), buy them Gears of War and watch the love grow.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
