Hello minions.
With Christmas right around the corner, I'm sure all you good little boys and girls have already had your game wish list prepared well in advance and in most cases have already submitted it to Santa.
*Warning if you're under the age of 8 please don't read the next sentence.*
For the rest of us - who know that Santa is a just some random homeless person plucked from the gutters of society and placed in a big red suit for a week at the mall - the lists have been submitted to the parental units/girlfriends/boyfriends and grandparents. Although it would be wise to perhaps leave some room for revisions to that list as Xbox Live has just released the expected titles for release on XBLA in December. Most have been confirmed with Major Nelson and reported by other gaming web sites. Be advised, some of the details are subject to change.
