Being Thankful on Thanksgiving

Hopefully most of you are getting ready to overstuff yourselves on holiday food and holiday cheer. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday where we all eat too much, some of us drink too much, and a good time is had by all — at least in theory.

MMMM. Got to love that extra helping of gravy. It goes great with video games. Eat up!

The other cool thing about Thanksgiving is that most people get a nice long weekend were we can take part in our favorite pastime, namely gaming. So in the interest of giving thanks proper-like, some of the GiN Lounge crew are taking time away from all that to talk about what games they are most thankful for as the winter holiday season gets off to a fine start. And if you are a gamer, there is actually quite a lot to be thankful for in 2014, and plenty of great games just over the horizon.

Happy turkey day everyone! Don’t over indulge too much, unless it’s with your new favorite games.
