You've probably seen a bajillion holiday buying guides by now. But the ones on Co-Optimus are most important for one simple reason: if you give a co-op game, chances are, you'll get to play it! That really makes the joy of giving just that much better, doesn't it?

There's guides for the Xbox 360 (http://www.co-optimus.com/editorial/109/Billys_Holiday_Gift_Guide_for_Xbox_360.html), PlayStation 3 (http://www.co-optimus.com/editorial/113/Billys_Holiday_Gift_Guide_for_Playstation_3.html), Wii/DS (http://www.co-optimus.com/editorial/111/Billys_Holiday_Gift_Guide_for_Wii_and_DS.html), and PC (http://www.co-optimus.com/editorial/114/Billys_Holiday_Gift_Guide_for_PC.html). So why not see if you can give the gift that keeps on giving...right back to you!

The PC gift guide is..... bad.

I hope there was money exchanged for recommending those items.. otherwise there is just no excuse. I mean really.. That saitek keyboard is just not the best thing on the market, not even for that price. The mouse is half the size of most people's mice so if you palm your mouse like most people it simply isn't a good fit. I haven't played World at War but it seems most people are consistent in saying its not as good as previous iterations and if you don't mind putting older games on there (ie from earlier this year like lego batman) then why not put a previous iteration of Call of Duty. Plus it doesn't mention fallout 3 which is probably the best game to come out in the last 3 months.

Overall theres just no excuse for that listing.

Considering there's no Co-Op in Fallout 3, it's pretty obvious why it's not on that list.

As for the keyboard, I've used quite a few and I still think it's handsdown the best gaming keyboard out there.

Despite the name of the website, and the description in the news post my brain managed to ignore the obvious that only co-op games are listed, that does explain fallout 3.

As for keyboards you might seriously want to try a mechanical keyboard.
