But that doesn't mean there isn't a gem or two in there that are worth looking at. Enter PlayStation 2 staple Ratchet and Clank, in their first outing on the new hardware.

 Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Santa Says: Nothing better on Christmas morning than getting everyone involved in the gaming, and there's no better way than some 4-player co-op beat-em-up action. Enter Marvel:Ultimate Alliance, which is about a button-masher as it gets, but with some friends or siblings around just doesn't get old. There's a huge roster of players and a pretty good story to give you a good reasons to beat the crap out of everything. It's a tad old now so there's no doubt you can find it used somewhere, which'll bring down the price even more.  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

WarHawk is not only an enjoyable experience because of its terrific gameplay mechanics; its gorgeous graphics and immersive modes make it a must own for any PS3 owner.Buyer Beware: This game is online only and will not work offline!  Rock Band
Available On: PS3/X360ESRB Rating: T MSRP: $169.99 Bundle / $59.99 Software Only BUY IT NOW! Santa Says: The high price point means this isn't exactly a pollyanna gift, but nonetheless for someone up high on your list that dreams of being rock star, it's hard to do better than Rock Band. This goes double for someone that you can play the game with so you can get some enjoyment out of it too. It's expensive, but you certainly get a lot for your buck (Guitar, Drums, a microphone and the game) and it's a better deal than 100 bucks for the Guitar Hero 3 bundle. It may be getting hard to find, but that'll make the gift even more special. And with new content coming out every week for Rock Band, you can buy a gift card for their birthday to buy more songs! 
MotorstormESRB Rating: TMSRP: $59.99 BUY IT NOW! Santa Says: If you have an arcade-style racing fan on your list who likes to get down and dirty and mix it up in the vehicle class department, you're probably not going to find a more original experience this year than Motorstorm. The game ships with just enough tracks and vehicles to keep things interesting, but online functionality ups the ante with downloadable content and multiplayer giving this one an immense amount of replayability.  The Bigs
Available On: X360/PSP/PS2/PS3/WiiESRB Rating: E MSRP: $39.99 (X360/PS3/Wii) $19.99(PS2/PSP) BUY IT NOW! Santa Says: In a world of sports titles that seem to offer nothing more than a roster update year after year, it's refreshing to find a new sports title that actually succeeds at doing something a little different than the rest. At it's core,The Bigs may seem like little more than an arcade-style swinger, but get a little more involved and you'll start to see a lot of RPG-style elements as you level up your rookie based on his performance and the types of skills you want him to develop. Couple that with the uber-addictive Pinball mode that has you wrecking Times Square as you shoot for that high score, and you'll find yourself engrossed in one of the best sports titles of the year.  Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
Available On: PSP/DSESRB Rating: E MSRP: $19.99 BUY IT NOW! Santa Says: Combining RPG elements and Bejeweled might not sound like a compelling title, but Puzzle Quest is one of the best casual experiences available on handhelds (and recently on XBLA). Hours of questing, building experience points and multi-player battles (online on PSP only) are plenty of reasons why you'll keep coming back to this title again and again.
