Since this holiday season is for family s getting together, now is the perfect time to look at some of my favorite head-to-head games for fun competitive experiences. Bust these favorites out anytime to see who from your family gets bragging rights.

Carnival Island (PlayStation Move) - This new Move title offers an unprecedented level of detail and precision to many favorite carnival games. Explore Carnival Island alone or with friends , while playing games such as minibowl, ring toss, throwdown, and frogbog to earn tickets redeemable for prizes and collectibles. By completing challenges, players can create their own cheering squad consisting of lovable pets throughout their experience. Players can also have fun by interacting with fun house mirrors, photo cut-outs and upload snapshots of their experiences directly onto Facebook or send to a PlayStation Network (PSN) friend.

Kinect Sports Season 2 (Xbox 360 Kinect) Kinect Sports is back and better than ever, and this time around there are a host of new sports: American Football, Skiing, Baseball, Darts, Golf and Tennis.

Nicktoons MLB (Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Kinect) - If you have kids in elementary school, chances are they love Nickelodeon, baseball or videogames, and potentially all three. With the way Nicktoons MLB plays, it s a great choice for competitive families that brings all three of these worlds together. We love Nicktoons MLB for kids ages 7 and up.

Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo DS) - If you already own a 3DS, then Mario Kart 3DS is clearly a must-have game for any family that likes to play together. If you don t have a 3DS yet, Mario Kart 3DS might be the experience that will make your family go out and get one.

Hasbro Family Game Night 4 The Game Show (Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 Kinect, PlayStation Move) - This version of Family Game Night includes re-imagined versions of familiar favorites, which means that there are a few twists added to the basic concepts of games like Yahtzee, Connect 4, Scrabble, Sorry and Bop It!
