I'm fed up of pretending The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge isn't a Christmas game, and a hauntingly good one at that

Growing up in a house with a goth sibling means I am legally obligated to enjoy The Nightmare Before Christmas and anything that Tim Burton touches with his spooky hands. Every Christmas we sit down as a family to watch it, and every year we debate on if it's a Christmas movie or Halloween movie. It takes place on Christmas, has Christmas in the title and one of the main characters is 'Sandy Claws'. It is a Christmas movie, and I will die on that hill.

The other thing about having a goth sibling is we owned a lot of The Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise. Clothes, toys, books, you name it we had it. One of the things we owned was the 2004 PlayStation 2 game The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge. This game is one I look back on fondly, and I would argue it is one of the weirdest, but best games to play on Christmas Day. Move over Die Hard Trilogy, Oogie's Revenge is here to kick your butt with some sweet, sweet dance moves.
