When it comes to Christmas I can be a bit of a scrooge. Generally speaking, the closest I get to 'festive' is drinking too much past the jolly side of a bottle of whisky. In fact, it would probably all be much easier if once a year we all went out and splashed a load of money on whatever we wanted for ourselves. Still, loads of folk love Christmas and spend ages fretting about what to get their friends and family. This can be especially difficult when we consider the gamer, and even more so if you or your family can't tell their Wii from their PS3.

It's funny how quickly some people have u-turned on their opinions of Treyarch. A while back the internet was alight with people who were quick to dismiss the developer over the poorly-rated Call of Duty 3. The game was an issue for debate among gaming circles as the game was created under the strict and entirely unreasonable deadline of a year. Now, the team have had two years to develop the fifth game in the series and, if the recently-released multiplayer beta is anything to go by, they have spent this extra time well. This could be the finest version yet.
