Holiday Game Guide

It's the best time of year for video game players as all the big publishers dish out their top game for the holidays. Not sure what to get your friend or family member this holiday season? We got you covered! 

Super Mario Odyssey  (Nintendo Switch}
Release Date: 10/27/17
 If you have a friend or family member who was lucky enough to get a Nintendo Switch they will most likely be talking about one game..MARIO! Mario is making its debut on the new console and this one looks like a winner. Taking a little inspiration from the latest Zelda game, the new Mario looks to be bringing an open world "Mario 64" style levels and looks super fun to play. If you own a Switch this will be a must buy.
Age to play: Everyone except possibly newborns..basically anyone that can use a controller

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PC, PS4, Xbox One) 
Release Date: 10/27/17
Want something that is the complete opposite of Mario? Then go with Wolfenstein which looks bigger, bolder, and bloodier than it's predecessor. I won't lie that took me quite a while play A New Order and I am mad that I did. If you are looking for a great old school first person shooter with amazing graphics and like killing Nazis...it will not disappoint. 
​Age to play: 18+ and make sure the kids are in bed

Assassin's Creed Origins (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Release Date: 10/27/2017
Assassin Creed is back after taking a year off to hopefully revitalize the franchise. I am someone who has played the majority of AC games released, and while it does look like the year off was good for the game, I am in no rush to play it. With the sheer amount of games coming out this holiday this is the type of game you play after the price drop.
Age to play: Usually meant for the 18+ or some teens who need to do better in history class

Star Wars Battlefront II (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Release Date: November 17th
Putting past all the drama surrounding this game with loot boxes and a potential pay to win multiplayer game, we at AGR are still very excited for this one. This sequel has the promised single player campaign missing from the original, along with characters and planets from the entire Star Wars Saga. Also helps we have a movie coming out in December to further the hype and excitement of the Star Wars brand. 
Age to play: By everyone, the game can be played

Farming Simulator 17 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Release Date: Available now
Our potential GOTY candidate is the last and final game...that is right Farming Simulator. Just when you thought farming was at it's best with 14, 15, and even 16, they knock it out of the park with 17. After a long days work in the office there is nothing like coming home, booting up your favorite tractor, and tending some crops.

Make sure when you give this game as a gift you also let them know Pure Farming 18 is coming out March 2018.
Age to play: If your kids are bad, instead of getting coal in their stocking give them farming simulator.
