Once upon a time, we saw Christmas theming applied to games and promotional demos, such as the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVG8T8wdtb8" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Christmas Lemmings games and demos, the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTB3MGcCdVM" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Fire & Ice Christmas Special Edition demo, and even full games like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9StiHqYpPS0" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Santa's Xmas Caper, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvELmaBU950" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Daze Before Christmas. There was even https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbatzMoiYg8" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">a cheat in Donkey Kong Country 3 to make all of the bonus levels Christmas-themed. These were all titles that were fantastical (and often cute) as it was, so this theming fit perfectly, and was appropriate.

So, what do we have this year? I saw this today, on http://www.amazon.co.uk/mobile-apps/b/ref=nav_shopall_adr_app/280-0418730-9014650?ie=UTF8&node=1661657031" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">the Editors' Picks bar on the UK Amazon Appstore for Android page...

Yes. That is the icon from a Call of Duty game, with the addition of a candy cane and snow. Festive, ain't it? http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />
