If you haven't sunken into an eggnog-induced coma yet, I have a feeling most of you are playing games right now. I also suspect many of you got these games as Christmas presents today. The Game Informer staff would like to know what video game gifts you received this holiday season. If you gave out video games as gifts, we'd like to hear about those, too.

I didn't get any games this year – turns out I'm tough to shop for – but I did give out Hitman: Absolution, a retail version of The Walking Dead, Far Cry 3, and Borderlands 2 to various friends and family.

Fee free to list your holiday haul in the comments section below, and let us know what you think of the new games you started playing today.

And if you are wondering who has a Godzilla ornament on their tree, that would be me. My wife Kelly loves my ornaments!

I got Hitman: Absolution and some Riot Points for League of Legends!

I got an Xbox 360 that came bundled with Skyrim and Forza 4. I also got Far Cry 3.

I got a 3DS and new super mario bros. 2. It's rad.

My wife gave me Halo 4, about to start it now!

I got the Wii U Deluxe edition and super mario bros with some other junk XD I was suprised by how much I like the Wii U, it is actually better than the ps3 and trust me I am a big fan of the ps3 though it is just my opinion, I am sure other people disagree with me. I can't decide rather to buy mass effect 3 for the Wii U or ps3 though...

I got a Wii U Deluxe with NSMBU and Tekken Tag 2. Awesome year. :D

Edit: Oh! I forgot to mention that I paid off my friend's Devil May Cry pre-order for him. He doesn't get very many games throughout the year, and DMC is his favorite series, so I went ahead and gave him the money to get it.

I received Virtues Last Reward for my Vita. I really like it so far.
by blapa Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:54 PM

I didn't get anything today, but should hopefully be receiving Microsoft Points so I can finish off The Walking Dead. Also hope I have extra to pick up either Fez or Mark of the Ninja.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Will start it soon.

The Godzilla ornament made me laugh.

This year I got a copy of LittleBigPlanet Vita, which I'm really looking forward to. I also received a bunch of PSN cards, and GameStop giftcards, which I have used to get Rayman Origins, Gungnir, and Persona 2: Innocent Sin, all playable on my Vita. Also, with some Christmas money from my grandparents, I purchased Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f, which is my first video game import.
by hitchhikerwaffle Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:55 PM

I received Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3! I have only played a lot of Black Ops though. I have to admit I do not like the tactical sections :(

A 3DS without any games. Bringing to mind the decades old family classic: NES games without an NES.

I got $40 worth of MS points for my birthday yesterday but thats really it.
by Beta98 Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:56 PM

Nfs most wanted. Pretty fun game so far!
by ZGamerF Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:58 PM

The only game I got from my Steam friend is Universal Sandbox, and that's the game I'm looking forward to. But that's it, all cash and stuffs, gotta save money for emergency or whatever :L
by Trenchmace Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:58 PM

I got a PS3 system with the Jak and Daxter Collection. Jak and Daxter was the first game I remember playing and it's so much fun in HD!
by Cavehobo Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:58 PM

Got Halo 4 and Borderlands 2.... I have a lot of co op to do :)
by darkbatghost88 Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 09:58 PM

I didn't get any games this year but I give an extra PS3 controller and a $20 PSN card to my cousin for christmas. We had a great time playing BLOPS 2 and Little Big Planet. I also started playing Resident Evil 5 co-op with my brother and it has been one of the most funniest games I have ever played. Seeing him rage so hard is hilarious and we never got past the first chapter. Today was a good christmas.

Grand Theft Auto IV, Soul Caliber V and Persona IV Arena. Merry Christmas to me!
