Christmas day easter eggs, wait that didn't sound right?

Post by Droid party »

So it's Christmas day down here and I've done all of the obligatory family stuff and am now back home. Now what I'm wanting to know is, which games have Christmas day easter eggs worth checking out, you know the ones where you have to have the clock read 25 December to see em. I know I could just change the clock at any time however it just seems right today.

I'm pretty sure some Simpson game (think it was a racing title for the PS2) has something of sorts

and WWE Smackdown, it was nothing major but the annoucer would say "Happy Holidays, and welcome to.. (what ever venue you were playing)

If you play open tyrian in december it will say "Christmas Detected" and ask if you want to enable Y/N.

What i noticed so far is some of your lasers now look like candy canes and the color of some enemy shots are different.

Even if the game doesnt change that much i just love that phrase

"Christmas Detected" :D
