2014 is a year that can only be classified as a down year for video game. With the new console generation launching during holiday season 2013, this year was to be jam-packed with new games for those systems. The problem is, most of the games that were announced for 2014 to help sell the new consoles to excited fans were announced far too soon, leading to many of them being pushed back to 2015.

All of that said, there are still plenty of video games to be had or given to friends and family this holiday season. If you continue below, you can find some good suggestions for all of your video game gift buying needs in this year’s Holiday Geek Gift Guide 2014: Video Games!

Christmas is two days away – are you still searching for some last-minute gifts and want to avoid going out to shop? Me too! And in my quest to avoid the Mall and the rest of the outside world, I found plenty gifts still available to get in time for Christmas and I don’t have to leave the house to get any of them! If you want to avoid the craziness of the Mall, you can still shop online and give some digital gifts to have ready for Christmas Day.

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’re in luck because there’s still time for you to order gifts today and have them physically arrive by Christmas Eve. There’s also plenty of digital gifts to give: You can also gift ebooks, MP3 music, apps, digital comics, and video game downloads; send a gift card electronically; or make a charitable donation in the recipient’s name. Either email the recipient their gift, or print up an e-card and hand it to them.

Here’s some last-minute online gift ideas …
