Winter is coming: Jon Snow's guide to the biggest Xmas games of 2014

Well, whaddaya know?

Christmas is a tricky time of year. In addition to working out how to eat your own body weight in Pringles and little sausages wrapped in bacon (without being sick all over your Grandmother's eyes), you need to work out what game (or games) to play during that magical work-free / school-free / parole period. And there are many, many guides clogging up the internet, telling you what to play. I counted at least 37 of them. Never fear, though, your old friend GamesRadar+ is here. He's drunk, belligerent, and has some advice for you.

Following the success of my Hodor's Guide To 2014's Biggest Games feature earlier this year, which got me nominated for no fewer than zero Pulitzer awards, I turned to another trusty member of the Game Of Thrones cast to give his take on 2014's best. After spending roughly a week getting his phone number from Hodor, I contacted Jon Snow to tell me his top picks for what to play this Christmas. The results are enlightening.

Assassin's Creed Unity

Jon Snow says: Sorry, I know nothing about this game.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Jon Snow says: Sorry, don't know anything about this one either.

Destiny

Jon Snow says: Nope, no knowledge of this game either.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Jon Snow says: You are going to hate me... I don't know anything about this.

Far Cry 4

Jon Snow says: Um, well, this is awkward. Literally no knowledge of this game.

FIFA 15

Jon Snow says: Sorry, not heard of FIFA.

LittleBigPlanet 3

Jon Snow says: Um... I've got nothing.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Jon Snow says: This game is really... um... it's kind of. I really like the, er, robots in it... Dragon-robots. Yeah...

Super Smash Bros. Wii U

Jon Snow says: I... uh...

Game Of Thrones: Season 1

Jon Snow says: Wait, is that Dragon Age?

Let it Snow

Well, that was insightful. I'm calling your agent, Jon Snow, and telling them how utterly useless you are. I might as well have been talking to fucking geese. Even Hodor had an opinion on these games, even if it was the same fucking one. You? Yes, you, the one staring at the screen making that 'I'm not amused by your jokes' look. Have an opinion? Good. Leave it below, and show Jon Snow how it's done.
