Not everyone deserves that high-end graphics card you saved up for a special holiday gift. Some people get coal for Christmas—or, if you're an adult, an excellent prank gift—and there are certainly video game equivalents to choose from.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Merry Christmas! Here, have this game that only as of recently half works! You can play with friends, kind of! You can play all the classic playlists, kind of! All of your nostalgia can now be replaced by unfound matches and bugs. Yay.
Sonic Boom
Get this...especially for an old-school Sonic fan. Just imagine the big droplets of tears that say, "Why? Why would you do this?" And then tell them about how edgy the new art design is.

Warehouse and Logistics Simulator
We've seen thousands of weird and cute and all other sorts of adjectives pertaining to simulators this year, but nothing looks quite as dull as this one.
