Holiday Shopping Guide 2009: Hand-held Gaming Best Bets

From Atlanta Video Game News Examiner:

"Halloween is past and Thanksgiving is fast approaching. That means it is time to start planning for your holiday shopping. One of the biggest problems when shopping for gamers is making sure that you buy a quality game that they will enjoy. There's nothing worse than getting a game for someone and finding out that it is buggy, has bad controls, or just isn't fun at all. So, we've come up with the best bets of recent releases for the two major hand-held platforms (Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP) for the 2009 holiday shopping season. We've broken it down not just by hand-helds but by genres as well. So click through on the links below for the hand-held and genre you'll be shopping for this year."

Thanks for the warning. I sure would have hated to have been surprised by installing a ubisoft game on accident.

Profchaos53d ago

Because you can't play all the games on every subscription already

KillBill52d ago

Valhalla is not on GamePass.

anast52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

I like Valhalla. The others haven't aged well.

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb77d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w77d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop77d ago

I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.

TheColbertinator77d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff218376d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer199276d ago

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games

P_Bomb76d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl76d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy0976d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.
