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... Bethesda
This card positively beams with good cheer, and the "Happy Holidays!" font is pleasingly comforting, like your favourite auntie's warm cardigan. One of the best.
Visuals | 8 | Pip boy's wide grin and cheerful face is always a welcome sight
Festiveness | 7 | He's got a Santa hat, but that's about it. It is a nice hat though
Composition | 7 | We hoped for something more evocative of Fallout's steampunk style
Effort | 7 | It's Pip boy, with a Santa hat, in a snowy field. Good, but not award winning
Score: 8
