Although a large number of games get released to coincide with the Christmas spending spree there are a few games which consistently perform well in the Christmas charts and make up our favourite stocking fillers. These are most often the latest releases as part of a well established series of games as most new game concepts get released outside the Christmas rush, giving them a chance to build momentum organically. Here are my predictions for the top selling games for Christmas 2010.
Call of Duty Black Ops (Release date: 9th November 2010)
Game
The latest in the long running series of Call of Duty Games is widely anticipated to storm to the top of the Christmas games charts based on heavy pre-orders and a wave of publicity around the release with games stores opening their doors at midnight to COD fans who couldn't wait until morning to get their hands on the new black ops game.
Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock (Release date: 24th September 2010)
One of the earliest releases of the year for the Christmas market the 6th installment of the Guitar Hero series entitled Warriors of Rock has be hailed by critics as a 'return to form' for the Guitar Hero brand which has struggled in recent years from a decline in the rhythm game genre after initial excitement around the new format offered by early releases of the game. This one has a great soundtrack and an improved 'career' mode which is expected to appeal to hardcore fans of the Guitar Hero games.
FIFA 11 (Release date: 1st October 2010)
The annual release of the FIFA soccer game is always a good seller and with the extra publicity and interest generated in the global market for soccer games this year caused by the soccer World cup in South Africa this is expected to be a strong contender for a top 5 slot on the Christmas games charts. FIFA 2011 is available on the Nintendo Wii, XBox 360 and PlayStation 2 and 3 consoles.
Assassins Creed 3: Brotherhood (Release date: 16th November 2010)
Assassins Creed has been one of the most popular third person action/ adventure games of recent years due in part to its availability on window's PC's as well as XBox 360 and PlayStation consoles. The new Assassins Creed titled 'Brotherhood' introduced a new multiplayer mode for 2-8 players which is expected to open the game up further to a more casual game playing audience.
