At Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com), we are feeling positively jolly about our 2009 Holiday Sale. This year’s annual sale is our biggest yet and matches our best discounts from past Holiday Sales as gamers can now get a huge portion of our catalog at up to a 30% discount!

Starting on November 25^th and continuing until Midnight on January 17, 2010, gamers around the globe will be able to purchase most titles in the Matrix Games catalog at up to 30% off!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Some people enjoy the fresh pine smell of a Christmas tree or the classic holidays carols sung for generations to get them in the spirit of Christmas. But for those of you who still like the sound of Panzers rolling across Europe or the orders of a squad commander trying to storm the Normandy beaches in addition, this sale will bring the best of both worlds!  After the success of last year’s huge Holiday Sale, we decided to make it even bigger this year.  There’s never been a better opportunity to stock up on our games.  Don’t snooze through it and miss these great savings!  Our Game on Demand boxed copy is a perfect present for your favorite wargamer – it comes shrink wrapped and our Standard editions include a printed manual for a present with some extra weight.”
