Happy Christmas!

We're off, but you can expect plenty of updates over the festive season.

It's almost time for Santa to climb down your chimney, no doubt placing a certain violent FPS underneath your Christmas Tree. That, of course, means we're off. But don't fret, we're not going to leave you high and dry, with plenty of end of year content coming up over the next two weeks to keep your festive spirits high.

As well as our spectacular Game of the Year video, coming your way on Christmas Eve (put it in your diary now), we'll have various lists going live you can argue over on the forum. Our 100 Games of the Noughties might be of particular interest, so get your Christmas trolling hats ready. If that doesn't cause a forum meltdown, we've also got our picks of the best exclusives on each of the seven major platforms, the trends and moments of the decade and a special editorial from yours truly looking back at the last ten years.

So, from everyone at VideoGamer.com, we wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all in 2010.
