Happy Thanksgiving from Games.net! To help celebrate the holidays, we've compiled a list of ten games to best prepare you for the many travails of Turkey Day.

#10 Mistreatment of Native Americans- GUN - [ Xbox 360 ]

Sure, the first Thanksgiving was all fine and dandy, but let's not forget how the Indians suffered long after sucking down slimy yams. GUN manages to capture the "crazy injun" stereotype better than most games, with your character mowing down mobs of the angry men who want their land back.

#9 Turkey hunting- South Park - [ N64 ]

Unless you're chowing down on some Tofurkey, that bird you're about to eat on Thanksgiving lived a life before it entered your belly. Hopefully it was one of the fowl bastards in the videogame version of South Park. In this terrible TV-licensed title, you had to face down waves of crazy, bloodthirsty turkeys. In real life however, Turkeys aren't as carnivorous, nor can they be felled with a pee-filled snowball.

#8 Waiting for a flight- Microsoft Flight Simulator X - [ PC ]

Thanksgiving is easily one of the busiest traveling days of the year--spend the third Wednesday afternoon of November in an airport and you'll know first hand. Why the heck is it taking so long for you to get to your destination? It's not because you forgot to put your hair gel in a plastic bag--it's because planes are pretty friggin' complicated to fly. Need proof? Microsoft Flight Simulator X will show you how tough it is to keep a gigantic airborne bus from crashing.

#7 Thanksgiving morning hangover- Conker's Bad Fur Day - [ N64 ]

With young adults home from college and no need to wake up early, Thanksgiving Eve has earned a reputation as one of the rowdiest party nights of the year. As you're sure to consume alcohol in your quest for a holiday hookup, take your cues from Conker, who can still save the day while inebriated.

#6 Awkward conversation- Shenmue - [ Dreamcast ]

When the relatives start shuffling in, you're gonna have to have the same conversation about your romantic, personal, and professional lives over and over and over. To keep the relatives at bay, speak in a uninteresting monotone voice like Ryo Suzuki from Shenmue. Because they'll likely tune out after a sentence, they won't care how many sailors you met this year.
