Context: there is some discussion between Fans of the movie Die Hard if the said movie is a Christmas movie or not, since the movie occurs during a Christmas party.

So this got me thinking, do we have a game that fit that criteria? I think batman Arkham Origins could fit that criteria, but I wonder if there is any game that I'm missing.

Most of the Yakuza games.

How ugly...

It's a night of peace and love...

There's no need to think about violence. It's a night to laugh and value life.



By the way, it could be Parasite eve.

Die Hard Trilogy to get Die Hard and Die Harder.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a Christmas game

I went through the Christmas themed dlc in Astro Bot with the kids today. Jolly good Christmas fun

 

[Skyfox]

Was there a hitman Christmas party dlc?

[TintoConCasera]

Persona 5? You save christmas with the help of Satan.

 

[Skyfox]

 

[MDSLKTR]

Pretty much Miles Morales.

 

[Skyfox]

Isn’t the first Max Payne at Christmas? Not sure…

Also if you enter “Merry” into the file select screen in DKC 3, the bonus levels will have a Christmas theme apparently!

 

[Rran]

There are Christmas levels in quite a few games. Kirby's Epic Yarn, Secret of Mana, and Banjo-Kazooie have some of my favorites.

Christmas and Shenmue will forever be linked to me. I got it as a Christmas gift and played it nonstop during that holiday break.

 

[March Climber]

I feel like one of the Dead Rising sequels took place around Christmas but I don’t remember which one.

[FoxMcChief]

For some reason, I also have Spawn(PS1) and Nightmare Creatures 2 (Dreamcast) also linked to Christmas.

 

[AtomicStarving]

What Christmas games I'm lost

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

This part, in this game for me...

 

[Pandawan]

Max Payne 1

 

[Tajaz2426]

Shadowgate. Do I have any inclination that it takes place during Christmas, or even if there is a Christmas season there? Hell no, but there is snow. So, yes, it’s a Christmas game. Play it.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Indigo Prophecy

 

[Sophist]

Shenmue, it has a nice Christmas vibe. I remember you have to do your forklift job even on Christmas eve.

Never understood the hate this one gets. Stands shoulder to shoulder with Arkham City and did some interesting stuff with boss fights.

Would you condemn me if I told you I like it more than City and Asylum.

 

[ManaByte]

Christmas NiGHTS and it’s playable on the Xbox!

I play it every year.

No I reckon it's a completely justified opinion.

Personally I like Asylum the best, that contained campaign is right up my alley. But as far as the open world sequels go, I think Origins is very slightly better than City. The snowscape does a lot for it, reminds me of Batman Returns.

 

[GamesDontSuck]

Blue Stinger for the Sega Dreamcast comes to mind.

 

[Rush2112]

You've no idea how long I've listened to this on headphones over the years

 

[Garibaldi]

Calisto Protocol....hey hear me out! It's set on a snowy moon!

Kippee Ki-yay and a Happy New Year everyone

 

[consoul]

Parasite Eve is the correct answer.

 

[rofif]

Riddick for me

 

[N30RYU]

Parasite Eve

I couldn't find a recent thread asking for Christmas themed games. This one is asking for Action/Combat games with a Christmas theme.
Since there's no other place to put it, I'll post it here.

This showed up in the list of "Christmas Theme" games at Mobygames.
I had to play it to find out why.

(I just posted this a short while ago in the What Are You Playing thread. It only takes a few minutes to beat it.)

 

[shoplifter]

Can't believe no one mentioned Blue Stinger

 

[Kerotan]

Metal Gear Solid

Didn't MGS3 have a Christmas outfit?
What about V? Does mother base have anything going on?

Call of duty 4 has winter crash but that map is available yearly now.
