We mercilessly judge the papery gifts kindly sent to us by the gaming industry, like big rotten children

Best wishes from... Free Radical
What else can we say, but "Best card ever, EVAR!". Free Radical has gone way above and beyond the call of festive duty here, in an irreverent Christmas card pastiche of "teh Gospel" - entirely in l33t-speak, complete with "ebayjesu5", "KingHer0d_17" and God himself going "OMG!!!!!". It's brilliant.

Visuals | 11 | The gorgeous painting features a winged monkey giving Christ a copy of... TimeSplitters 4!
Festiveness | 11 | It's the Christmas story, wrapped up in humour and using words we understand
Composition | 11 | It pokes fun at the Bible in beautifully styled fashion. Love the spoiler warning
Effort | 11 | Is this why Haze isn't finished yet? We wouldn't be surprised...

Score: 11
