While the Shacknews team still has to deliberate on GOTY choices, 2K Games can at least take solace in knowing that XCOM is definitely leading the pack in "Holiday Card of the Year."

          Nono, bridery. It's a courting ritual. They want to marry the game review sites (yes, all of them! Nothing wrong with polygamy!)
