‘Tis The Season (To Give Well, For Once)

‘Tis The Season (To Give Well, For Once)

            Christmas time is here, and it’s the season for horrifying unwrappings and overdrawn credit cards. I can help with the former. With the other one, you’re on your own.

            For the cell phone stroker, look no further than the line-up with Verizon Wireless. First up is the Motorola Droid RAZR, which debuts with the slimmest profile of any smartphone to date. Yet, it doesn’t skimp on power for the gamer and web runner in your life with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and gigabyte of RAM.

            If your personal phone freak is more of the sufficient shutterbug, look no further than the HTC Rezound, which packs in a 28mm camera lens and stellar low-light performance that will leave no late night dance in the dark. The 720p Super LCD screen for viewing these shindigs doesn’t hurt, either.

            And thirdly, there’s the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which comes powered with a 4.65 inch, 720p Super AMOLED screen that will be perfect for the restless movie watcher on the go.

            Have a friend that’s more of the shut-in type? Then Bioware’s latest PC MMORPG, “Star Wars: The Old Republic” will sure to keep their seats Sith-ly still. The developer promises endless hours of customization, lightsaber duels, and galaxy traversing. The brand new graphics and deep gameplay will surely blow “World of Warcraft” out of the water only seven (!) years after its release.

            Yet we all know what is truly keeping the bandwidth booming these days, and that would be Activision’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” for PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360. The game has scored the biggest entertainment launch of all time, and surely the headset jockey in your household couldn’t resist a disk of this.

            For the nerdier set, there’s the Blu-ray of “Thor”, one of the many comic book films to hit the screens in the last several years. However, the charming Chris Hemsworth and his oafish humor help elevate it above the rest. The special effects and (literally) out of this world battles don’t hurt, either.

            For the adamant actioner in your atmosphere, there’s the “Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy” Blu-ray set for their pleasure. All three films in the series have been revitalized for 1080p quality and lossless DTS Master Audio 7.1 sound to rattle the room with dinosaur stomps and popcorn chomps.

            Love the people in your life more than the weight in your wallet and start shopping for these gifts today. That, or enjoy the Christmas Eve lines in all their suffering splendor.
