The 24 games of Christmas! Game #1: PlayLink Games

It’s that time of year again! The decorations are out, the house smells of Christmas thanks to the tree in the living room, presents are sitting under the tree and all the good food is on the table. We do love Christmas at DDNet, and as always, we’re doing an advent calendar of our own on the site. Each day we’re going to list one game that’s just perfect to play over the Christmas season, so be sure to check back each day to get all the gaming suggestions you’ll need for the season.

Game #1: The PlayLink Games. All of them.

Sony’s PlayLink formally launched in Australia just recently, and it has come at the perfect time of year. These games are designed to be easy for everyone to play; you turn the PlayStation 4 on, and then each player pairs up their mobile phones, which then act as their controller. As you can probably guess, this system works especially well for party games, quiz games and similar, and with titles like Singstar and Knowledge is Power, that’s exactly what you’re getting. Given that Christmas involves family gatherings and plenty of people who might not be so comfortable with a normal game controller, this is the perfect way to get everyone in the house celebrating Christmas together.
