Cards? Ubisoft don't need no stinking cards! They let video, and a freaky looking rabbid with a penchant for screaming, do their well wishing for them.

Some developers send holiday cards, fancy gaming cards, to us this time of year. But not Foundation 9, they send their own holiday album of not just Christmas music, but 8-Bit Christmas music.

Here is the album art and track listing for your viewing pleasure. I also uploaded 8 Bit Weapon's remix of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen to put you in the festive spirit.

A Dragon Age Origins Holiday Greeting

Apparently back in the day Father Christmas was a bad-ass. Thanks to Bioware for letting us know. Now, about Mrs. Clause...

Sweet Blue Dragon Plus Desk Calendar Wishes Us A Happy Holidays

Ignition Entertainment's holiday card may be a bit mundane, but it is blue which, it turns out, is sticking to a theme. Along with the not so fancy card came a pretty fancy Blue Dragon Plus desk calendar.

A Fallout Holiday

Nothing says Happy Holidays better than a Santa-Hat festooned Mr. Andy sawing through colorfully wrapped presents like he's looking for a Mr. Gutsy.

Brought to you by the folks at Bethesda and their deliciously deep reimagining of Fallout.

SuperVillain Says Happy Holidays... Or Else!

Brian Crecente — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:00:00 MST

SuperVillain, I love those guys. True story:

Back in 1883, or whenever it was we Kotaku attended our first E3 (it was just Mike and I at the time), the SuperVillain guys emailed us to see if we wanted shirts from their still-to-be-formed company. They taunted us with how amazing the shirts were, lavished on the detail about the wonderful design and then never delivered... mostly because we were too busy to meet up with them.

Now thousands of years later, SuperVillain sends us not just this sweet 2008 holiday card, but a bonus 2007 one too. Sweet. Thanks Josh.

Tecmo Passes The Football Card

Brian Crecente — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:00:00 MST

When I think of Tecmo, I think of a lot of games.You've got Ninja Gaiden. You've got Dead or Alive. You've got Super Swing Golf.

And yes, you have Tecmo Bowl.... as seen depicted in this staff photoreffic Christmas card that has me singing the cast member call out from old school Mickey Mouse Club in my head.

There's Johnny! And Ryan! And Kamo!

Happy Holidays From Petroglyph

It may not contain the wittiest banter, but it sure is the prettiest picture of a Christmas tree being teleported into a UFO that I've ever seen.

Happy Mawlidays From TwistedPixel

You may or may not remember Maw, but it was a bit of fun play I ran into at Penny Arcade Expo this year.

Lovely sentiments and group shot on the jump.
