What Are You Playing This Holiday?

Some of you may have had your long weekends interrupted by work today, so I empathize. Believe me, I do. But with a scheduled holiday going on right now for many of us, we should have the opportunity to play loads of new games during our idle hours. Some of you may have already peaked through the wrapping on your Christmas gifts and know what you'll be playing this holiday and some of you may simply have strong ideas about what's under the tree. Me, I think there's a copy of Final Fantasy III waiting for me, but I can't be sure. Regardless, it promises to be a very nerdy Christmas for me, based on the contents of my wish list.

For those who already have it worked out, let us know in the comments what you'll be playing this holiday.

Like Mark, my copy of Rock Band, acquired yesterday at Best Buy, remains mint-in-box, unopened due to a tight schedule involving pie making, surprise hosting duties, and soul-crushing amounts of work. At least the falling tears make for a satisfying moderate rock beat as they splash upon my MacBook. Tomorrow, however, I'll break the seal on my copy of Rock Band, set it up, play, download some Metallica, break it down, transport it across town and attempt to work off thousands of calories with the Thanksgiving band. I'll also squeeze in a bit more time with Link's Crossbow Training, as several platinum medals still elude me, plus time with Medal of Honor Heroes 2.

For those not celebrating our lovely American holiday, feel free to let us know what's on your plate whenever you have a spare moment.
