It's been another big year for AusGamers and a great year for quality games. On behalf of the AusGamers and Mammoth Media team, I'd like to wish every one a very Merry Christmas (or Festivus), a Happy New Year and a safe and pleasant holiday season in general.

Things will be operating in caretaker mode around here for the next week, but there's still a load of still-relevant content worth checking out in both our Reviews and Features sections, so have a browse if you want to know whether that new release game at the boxing day sale is worth buying or to get the low-down on some of the upcoming 2012 titles that we've had access to throughout the year.

We'll be back bigger than ever in 2012, with some bold new plans and a new addition to our editorial team to introduce, so expect even broader coverage of everything relevant to Australian Gamers in the new year.
