The holiday season is finally upon us, and with Impulse having tons of games and applications available, I wanted to take this opportunity to put together some gift guides to help make your shopping a bit easier.  Today we will start off taking a look at some of the desktop applications available on Impulse.

These are all great apps for either yourself or a friend or family member.  If you still aren’t exactly sure what they want, you can also pickup an Impulse Gift Card.
