There’s only a few days left and you still haven’t bought a gift for that tech geek in your life. What do you do? Look at this handy guide to the best Geek gifts of the year that’s what. Here are the top 7 gifts, as organized by ExtremeTech, to get to this year for the geek that has everything.

1. Sony Blu-ray player: You can get one for as cheap as $250 now! And yes it’s still a good player. The Sony BDP-350 is available for only $224 on Amazon.com, It’s a BD-Profile 2.0 which means it a newer model, and it has great DVD up conversion.

2. MSI R4850 T2D512 Graphics Card: Cost is about $190, and is fast performing while…

Title: The Horus Heresy: MechanicumAuthor: Graham McNeillPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: November 25, 2008Price: $7.99Rating: One thumb up and one thumb sideways, 80/100, B-, *** out of five.Pros: It’s an entirely new presentation to The Horus Heresy series and focuses on a group other than the Space Marines. The development of characters and events is beautiful.Cons: Presentation will be hard to read for some and different enough that it might turn off people who loved the following of the Space Marines through the first parts of Heresy series.Overall: This book is an acquired taste that some people will either love or hate.

Mechanicum is a bit of a puzzle in itself. It’s a good book that, much like most of the really good sci-fi or fantasy, is entirely an acquired taste. The book is the first in the series that puts a group, other than the Space Marines, into focus…

Despite what certain financial analysts say, the PlayStation 3 is still a great system to own. Seriously, when is the last time you trusted a financial analyst to tell you anything? Come on, you see how the economy is faring on these people’s advice. Anyway, if you have a PS3 owner on your list this year, here’s a a list for you last minute shoppers.

Title: Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People: 8-Bit is EnoughPrice: $8.95 PC, $10 WillwareSystem(s): *PC, WiiWareRelease Date: December, 15, 2008Publisher (Developer): Telltale Games (Adventure Company)ESRB Rating: “Everyone +10″ for comic mischiefPros: You get to play games within a game. Chock full of video game clichés that will keep you laughing. See the Homestar characters as zany video game characters. Plus you get to fight Trogdor.Cons: Seemed shorter than the other episodes, no mini games to speak of, not even searching via the metal detector.Overall Score:Two thumbs up; 96/100; A; * * * * 1/2 out of five.

We come to the end of our reign of terror with Strong Bad and his crew. This was definitely a very fun way to end the series. It was unique, hilarious as always, and brought back all the elements you learned to love from old-school video games…

Duh statement of the century: gamers love to play games. However, most gamers also love to read about, watch, wear and hear about games or game-related stuff, so we put together a hot little list of non-game items that gamers will go gaga over this holiday. Besides – we can be a notoriously hard-to-shop-for bunch – so check out the following items for the elusive gamer on your holiday shopping list.

Left 4 Dead Movie Poster Pack – If you or your gamer can’t get enough of Valve’s magnificent zombie-blasting game, consider nabbing this 4-pack of posters based on the game’s 4 action-flick “scenarios”. Themed after cheesy action and B-horror movie posters, this is the perfect gift for a..

Clothing is always an iffy holiday gift. Unless you really know someone well, its a delicate situation. I mean, you don’t want to put effort into picking something out, only to hear, “You’d have to pay me to wear this.” If you take a peek by Glennz Tees though, you may find a neat and clever last minute shirt for a gaming or Sci-Fi fan on your shopping list. Plus, since they’re T-shirts, if by some off chance the person you buy it for isn’t thrilled, they can just use it to sleep in or as a swimsuit cover-up. Plus, they’re reasonably priced – most shirts are $19.95.

There’s a wide selection of shirts, and quite a few video game ones. Sprite Stitch was quite taken with the Ground Defenses T-shirt, which depicts a soldier painting another Space Invader on the side of his tank to keep track of his record. Guitar Hero fans might want Living Room Legend, which depicts a Guitar Hero guitar controller smashed into a TV. (You can see it at the right.) People who enjoy the various Lego games may want the Evolution shirt, which shows a Lego man evolving from a single block to the Lego man we know today…

Title: The Dark Knight (aka Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman Begins 2, The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience)Price: $35.99Format(s): *Blu-ray (DVD, Digital Download)Release Date: December 9, 2008Publisher: Warner Home VideoRating: “PG-13″Pros: Amazing quality video and audio of a great movie that doesn’t lose anything moving from big to TV screen. Free digital download and a few decent extras including a few animated short films on BD-Live.Cons: BD-Live still needs some work for smoother community interaction and incorporating PS3 features (including the video camera).Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 91/100; A-; * * * * out of five.

I’ve already given The Dark Knight a glowing review so I’ll skip the equally glowing rehash and concentrate on the extra features included in this worthy three-disc Blu-ray release including BD-Live.

Along with novelty gift cards, the other inexpensive plastic tchockies I like to scout for are kids meal toys.

As a followup to last year’s Wendy’s Wii toys, Burger King is offering this year’s Wii-related tiny toys intended for tots (but not those under the age of three, of course). The ten toys are…

While dashing through my nearest Target store, I passed a rack stacked with tins in the underwear, er, pajamas section.

The tins, priced at $9.99 each, include a set of colorful men’s boxers that reflect the packaging: a Wii (as in the console), a red Guitar Hero guitar, black Guitar Hero speaker, an Xbox 360 controller, Super Mario Bros. 3 with Mario, the Superman logo and the Batman logo.

I did find a few listed on the Kohl’s and Sears web sites…
