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... NCSoft
Not only has NCSoft sent 'Warm Wishes' - vital in these knacker-freezing times - but it also bunged in a great big slab of chocolate... stuff. We're not sure it's actual chocolate, more your chocolate-flavoured sweetie thing. Not that we're about to complain... *Scoff*
Visuals | 8 | A sweet card, understated and effective, and the logo's repeated on the chocolate
Festiveness | 6 | Be honest, this starry snapshot could've taken place on any night of the year
Composition | 7 | The constellation is cleverly done, but the card design is a bit top-heavy
Effort | 8 | Hey, we can't knock anyone who sends us edible good tidings
Score: 8
