A Very Killzone Christmas

On one hand, this is no way for Santa Claus to behave, but on the other hand this is sort of the natural evolution of our favorite holiday personification. Back in the day no one gave a damn about a bag full of wooden toys, but with Santa's sack now filled with iPods, Wiis, Xbox 360s, and PlayStation 3 consoles, it's hard to imagine he doesn't have mercenaries and pirates gunning for him constantly. This picture is available in a wide variety of wallpaper sizes, from PSP to PS3, all thanks to the nice folks at Killzone.com. And yes, I did indeed just say "Santa's sack." More »

A NSFW Witcher Christmas

Ah CD Projekt RED, we love you, nippley-Christmas card and all. The digital card reads:

On the morrow, once the ale had released its hold on his head, Geralt remembered the bearded old-timer in the red coat and the box with the wolf he had placed in the Witcher's hand...

Later, it was said the old man came from the north.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year spent in the world of The Witcher.

A Patapon Christmas... and Game

I was stepping into the mini-van this afternoon, bound for Kansas on the way to Georgia, when the FedEx guy stopped by and handed me this nifty Patapon card. As if the nifty tribe celebration wasn't enough to put a smile on my face, inside the signed card was a demo of the game, due out in March. I know what I'll be doing during the trip.

Dead Island Christmas

Here's another digital card, this one a chilling, though oddly festive, greeting from Dead Island creators Techland who sent along a Santa Hat festooned zombie to wish us a "Merrrrrry Chrrrrrrismas" and, I suspect, to beg for brrrrrrrraiiinnnnnns. Sorry, we're all out, you'll have to go to Gamasutra I hear they're overflowing with plump grey matter.

Lionhead Card Mentions "Other Game"

Not all of the holiday cards we receive here at Kotaku Tower come via our grumpy mailman. Some pop right up inside our email's mailbox. Take, for example, this touching card from Lionhead Studios, featuring Fable 2's boy and his dog.

Nice picture, but more interesting is the note included:

Hi Kotaku,

Season's Greetings from all at Lionhead Studios! We wish you all the very merry Christmas and the best wishes for 2008, which will be a very busy gaming year (with Fable 2 and our other game...)

Best wishes,
Lionhead Studios

Other game? I can't seem to find any clues on the card...

Universe at Peace, From Petroglyph

I really like this Petroglyph card, not just because it has a cute remake of the Walkers, one featuring a Santa hat and beard, another turned into a Christmas ornament, and not because they gave their game a clever rename. No, I like this card because I hate Chrismas elves and it looks like they're about to suck it hard. Santa, fortunately, managed to escape while the death of his tiny work force provided a distraction. Ho, Ho, Ho indeed.

Happy Katamari Holidays from Namco

One of my favorite things about the holidays is the fun collection of Christmas cards I get. This year has been a little sparse, but what they've lost in quantity they've more than made up for with quality. Wouldn't be great to get a little box of cousins? I wonder what they'd taste like.
