5 Great Gift Ideas for Gamers

As Christmas is quickly approaching we are sure that you are trying to come up with a creative gift idea for the gamer in your life.  Since gamers tastes are picky we know it can be hard trying to find the right type of gift for them. So here at NothingButSoftware we decided to compile a short list of games and accessories that are sure to please any gamer.

1. The Atari Flashback 2

For the classic gamer the Atari Flahback 2 is a plug and play console. It has 40 classic Atari games including, Pong, Centipede, and Pitfall.  Plug and plays have been around for a while so the price will be low. A great gift idea for any gamers stuck in the 80’s.

2. Wrath of the Lich King Expansion

If you are looking for a gift for a Wow Gamer this Christmas this expansion is a must. This is the greatest endeavor thus far from Blizzard.  Wrath of the Lich king is already breaking sales records, and it continues to grow in popularity.  So get this one as early as possible. A good price for a lot of great content, and a whole new Wow experience.

3. The Wii Lightsaber
Of all of the Wii Accessories this one has got to be the best. A great gift for a Wii gamer, and a must have gift for a Star Wars fan. The Wii Lightsaber is designed to be like the real thing, when turning it on the light actually rises from the bottom to the  top. It is available in a dual pack with two separate colors, and it is reasonably priced.

4. Guitar Hero World Tour

Hands down the most popular music series in video games is Guitar Hero. Recently released Guitar Hero World Tour is rumored to be one of the most popular game titles this holiday season, and it is already flying off the shelves.  It has a huge music library, and supports download content. If you know a gamer that likes this series or wants to get into it check it out.

5. Nintendo Wii
After two years of shortages I am sure we are all weary of the Wii holiday craze. Wii sales are still through the roof, and from what we have heard this year will have it’s share of shortage nightmares. If you have a special gamer in your life who has not been able to get his hands on a Wii yet this would certainly make his/her Christmas I’m sure.
