Ten worst things to get a hardcore gamer for Christmas: Part 2

The first guide I wrote did so well that I decided another one was in order, so here we are: part 2 of the worst gift ideas for hardcore gamers.

There was some confusion before so I feel I need to explain what a hardcore gamer is. A hardcore gamer (HCG) is a gamer that is OBSESSED with video games, not just playing them, but completing them in their entirety. This means getting all the endings, getting every single item in the game and all the achievements available. The HCG will skip work, school, dating, whatever just to complete a game. Also, a HCG has most likely forgotten to shower once or twice. HCGs can be male or female and despite all the above mentioned, female HCGs are considered hotter then males (sorry guys).

Valentine’s Day 2010: Great handmade gamer gifts from Etsy

Handmade items always make a fantastic gift, no matter what the occasion, but they’re especially suitable for Valentine’s Day gifts. It’s a good way to make someone feel special, since you’re getting them what could be a one-of-a-kind item that’s exactly his or her taste.

Sadly, not all people are crafty enough to create their own gifts. A good alternative is to check out the various shops at Etsy.com. Many of the artists selling their wares there have a wide variety of items and gadgets appropriate for your video game valentine.

To make shopping easier, Gamertell has gone through some of the Etsy shops to put together a list of some of the best, homemade video game gifts. If you buy something now, you should be able to get it in time for February 14, 2010…

Random Amazon game deals

I’ve stumbled upon some price drops on Amazon for some games that don’t seem to be connected to anything. They could be leftover stock from the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales but it really doesn’t matter. Lower prices on games means more money in our wallets for more games.

This isn’t a particularly big list but it’s useful to have when trying to figure out what to buy that special someone (or yourself) for the upcoming holidays. Most of the games on this list are for the PS3 or Xbox 360 as no Wii deals really stood out all that much. I have no idea how long these prices will stay as they are so start clicking and spreading the word…
