Not sure what games to play over your Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Winter break? Want to catch up on some older titles you may not have played through when they were contemporary? Do you need a very particular and abstract reason to play a game? If so, who are you and what enjoyment do you get out of video games?
I doubt I'm the only one who is apt to play more games when the cold months come around. In fact I hold a special kind of nostalgia for games during the holiday/winter months. Whether it was getting a specific title for Christmas or working through the final boss over college winter breaks, there are certain games that seem inseparable from the late fall to winter months; so much so that sometimes it just feels wrong playing them any other time of the year.
Being that it is now November, and that, for my part of the world, the landscape has turned rather brown and the morning air now threatens the first dusting of snow, I thought it might be fun to look at a list of games that seem right for the season. Let's not call them holiday games but...let's call them
the Brown-White games, for the respective October to February months it would be most appropriate playing them.
