Game Boy Advance Christmas Games

The Nintendo Game Boy Advance is a very popular new hand held gaming console. The Game Boy Advance offers tons of great games from action and adventure to brain-challenging trivia games. What you might not know, however, is that some Christmas-themed games have also been developed for the Game Boy Advance. Here are some of the weirdest Christmas games:

 Elf Bowling: This little game is pretty much what it says it is: bowling, but with elves. The real downside is that the game is very unappealing and actually a little bit graphic, so you see your fair share of elf butt! There is Elf Bowling 1 and 2, but it doesn't make much sense why Nintendo made a second one, since the first one was already bad and weird enough. With very little actual playtime (we're talking 30 seconds per round here), the game loses its appeal really fast.

 Santa Claus Jr. Advance - The "plot" for this game is that Santa gets a boy named Nick to help him save Christmas. The duo must save all of the toys from an evil witch whose goal is to ruin Christmas. The premise makes sense, but in game format it doesn't work well, and it's just plain odd. On the other hand, the levels are executed well, and it's fun to play, so while it's strange, it's also a good Christmas themed game.

 Elf The Movie (the game): Elf with Will Ferrell was a funny movie, but turning it into a game makes very little sense. Apparently, Nintendo felt the need to turn this cinematic masterpiece into a game where Elf has to escape from polar bears, throw gumdrops, and collect candy. This game is truly boring, and even weirder than Will Ferrell's character in the movie.

 James Pond - Codename Robocod: While it sounds entertaining enough, the fact is that this game is just plain weird. James Pond must save Santa and his elves and battle things like punk rockers, birds, and Glove Men. This definitely has a strange premise, and it's a truly unusual game, but it's also a lot of fun and there is a concrete mission to complete.

 Santa Claus Saves the Earth: This game is hilarious. It depicts Santa as a potential killer while at the same time the evil character in the game named Nilam (who is a wicked fairy to boot) is plotting against Saint Nick. The result is a really funny game with all kinds of weird characters like sabertooth tigers, Warthog Men, cavemen, and even gangsters.
