Christmas is getting ever closer and the Christmas decorations are starting to be put up. Although Christmas is a fun time and most people enjoy it, there is one bit of the holiday season that everyone hates, the shopping.

The toughest part of buying for children, you need to make sure you know what you’re buying, otherwise they may not like it, especially when it comes to video games. To give you a push in the right direction, here are some of the top games to buy this Christmas.

Band Hero

The latest game from the makers of the Guitar Hero series, Band Hero brings the entire family together. If you’re after a family Christmas and you don’t mind a bit of noise, Band Hero is the perfect gift to buy. Although the initial purchase of drums, guitar and mic is a little high, the controllers will work for any other music games you buy.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

You can’t really go wrong with the biggest game of the year. An ideal gift for any first person shooter fans, Modern Warfare 2 is a must have game. The game has a fantastic story line, despite is being quite short, it does compensate with one of the best multiplayer modes on any console. With a game that’s this good, it’s quite hard to go wrong.

DJ Hero

Another music game now, DJ Hero is another game from the makers of Guitar Hero. This time you drop the guitar for some decks. The only downside to this is that the use of the controller is really limited to the DJ games. However, if you’re living with an aspiring DJ, it’s the ideal gift to buy.

Tony Hawks: RIDE

The latest Tony Hawks game, only released last week and it’s their best yet. The game features a skateboard controller which is very similar to the Wii Balance Board. The game is pretty simple to control, even without any skateboarding experience, plus it’s great fun to play. Just like DJ Hero, the high priced controller can only be used on that game, hopefully more games will be released in the future to use this great controller.

Hopefully those have given you gift ideas for your children this Christmas.
