Who can forget their most cherished memories from beloved games of old, like the catchphrase-filled Legend of Zelda and Pokémon, or even the likes of say Duke Nukem and Gears of War?

Christmas Specials Worth... Playing?
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I put a spotlight on the maligned, forgotten, and ignored. Everyone that celebrates Christmas has at least half a dozen DVDs of Christmas specials that are watched every year. People have grown up watching Charlie Brown finding the true meaning of Christmas and the Grinch stealing presents. They've watched George Bailey realize what the world would be like if he wasn't born, in addition to tons of other stories.

They took what’s probably the most popular video game franchise ever, crossed it over with gaming’s answer to the Minions, all wrapped up in XCOM-esque gameplay. Whoever thought of this deserves both a pat on the back and a serious questioning.

The Personal Method that I Use to Rate Games
Video games are, and always will be, the main source of entertainment in my life. They are the main expenditure of my income; my most preferable procrastination tool and the biggest bane of my productivity.
