While Thanksgiving is mainly about family and eating, we want to make sure we take stock of the games in our life that harken back to simpler times, that inspire us and can improve a bad day.

Among our most sacred nostalgia titles are: Playstation's Kingdom Hearts (despite Sony's broken promises for a third installment), free online game, Robot Unicorn Attack (listen to the theme song, alone), and Monkey Island for X Box (from LucasArts no less).

In general, we're thankful for Indie developers out there making games with lot of heart - who offer alternatives to the usual, from whom you can download random weird experiences like Journey, or story focused titles like Dear Esther and Undertail, the Tell Tale Hearts oeuvre, and many others.

Also, the season demands that we pay homage to James Bond video games such as the OG FPS for N64, Goldeneye, and Everything or Nothing for PS2. And finally, we've never been more thankful for Nintendo, still in business as the best distraction money can buy. Shout out Nintendo with us this #Nintendovember.
