Claus, The Other Side of Santa

This game hasn't been updated for many years now, but it is still worthy of a look.

You take control of Father Christmas on his voyage over the edge as he gets his own back on various toys.

Designed as a parody of the current obsession with all those sad toy crazes we have to endure, you take control of Father Christmas on his hell-bent mission of revenge.

Flying through the sky in a sleigh equipped with a fearsome weapon - vicious circular saws - your quest is to rid the skies of these awful toys.

Get to the end of a level and you're faced with the standard end-of-level baddie, although in this game these come in the form of giant toys with lethal weapons.

The game is well designed too, complete with some great Christmas music, sound effects (bells, jingles and explosions), and a colourful backdrop of a classic American skyline.
