Our videogame Christmas cards, rated
We mercilessly judge the papery gifts kindly sent to us by the gaming industry, like big rotten children
Best wishes from... Konami
Before we saw Free Radical's amazing delivery, this was the best card by a mile. A wonderful medley of Konami faces old and new - don't miss the cute Pyramid Head, with wrapped up chopper, or Snake's hand poking out from under a huge present. It's even got an actual Santa! The best videogame Christmas card you'll ever see.
Visuals | 10 | Every time you look there's something new and geek-pleasing to discover
Festiveness | 10 | It's got presents, a tree, Santa - and a girl in a sexy Santa's outfit
Composition | 10 | This festive scene is packed with treats, without feeling too forced
Effort | 10 | We can only imagine that some artist worked very long and very hard on this. Well done!
Score: 10
