Russ Frushtick has posted up a blog detailing a list of games which are hot favourites to buy your friend or family member this holiday season, including a subtle question for each one to try and bring it into conversation to see if they'll like it. Does this list cater to your festive wants, or are you hoping for something else this season?

It's that time of year again. Starting next week, the nation will be inundated by the holiday spirit, and you've got to start thinking about what to buy your friend, neighbor or significant other. If they're a gamer and you're not, the prospect might be tricky, so I thought I'd give you some suggestions to set you on the right path.

Since you don't want to reveal your forthcoming gift, I'm also including a subtle question to ask the giftee before you make your purchase to confirm that it is indeed the right game for them. I do this because I care.
