Richard Banks
The holidays are fast approaching. There is something about the holidays that brings out the best in all of us. Regardless of the financial times, there are certain items that cannot be overlooked this holiday season. What says family fun for all ages like a new game? This year's list of must-have games of 2010 includes items such as video games, hand-held games and must-have board games.

Video Games

Move - PlayStation fans get off of the couch and move. Sony's entry into the motion-sensing games market rivals competitor Wii. Players of all ages will be able to enjoy countless hours of game play with a vast array of games that will have you jumping, squatting, leaning and moving.

Kinect - A holiday gifts list won't be complete without the Xbox 360 Kinect. Imagine yourself on the screen singing and dancing to your favorite song, or better yet, competing for the gold medal in a sporting event. Kinect is a must-have games winner because it has taken away the controller altogether. No need for added accessories, just you and fun.

New Carnival Games (Wii) - Lions, tigers and bears, oh my. You are the ringmaster controlling your own circus. With over 30 mini-games to inspire people of all ages, New Carnival Games is poised to sell more copies than its predecessor. A must-have holiday gift of 2010, New Carnival Games will provide hours of endless fun.

Hand-Held Games

Cuponk! - The game is simple, but will ensure hours of laughter and hilarious high jinks. Inspired by Hasbro's Family Game Night, Cuponk! involves two items: a cup and a ball. Players will challenge others to outrageous trick shots. The person who makes the cup light up wins. Get creative, have fun, and Cuponk!

Loopz - Simon Says on steroids, Loopz makes this year's must-have list of games for the 2010 holidays because it challenges minds in a unique manner. The concept is memorization of repeating lights and music patterns. No buttons to push, just open air fun and excitement.

Board Games

Clue: 24 - No list of must-have games for holiday gifts would be complete without Clue: 24. You are engulfed in a mission to save the country from a traitor. One traitor, six different suspects. Who do you trust?

The Game of Life: Rock Star Edition - Live like a rock star, one move at a time. The Game of Life has updated the classic version by adding fun features such as a custom game board, tour bus movers and famous rock and roll buildings. Do you take the road less traveled or the high road, which leads to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Must-Have Holiday Gifts of 2010: Games edition will provide countless hours of excitement and enjoyment to players of all ages. Whether you are 9 or 99, these games will fill your holiday with cheer.

    Good list of games. I used to love playing board games with the whole family involved. Sadly everybody is too busy these days.
