The three winners all have something in common this week: the macabre! This week bare witness to the startling plots of some great (or not so great) modern games: there are serial killers and military sons battling the most gruesome and devastating of society's menaces, from snuff film makers to grizzly alien invaders, some for their brother, some for their country and some merely for survival. Moreover, it's great to see three reviews that appropriately tackle the atmosphere of these games.

Thanks for the mention. I was kind of hoping to get feedback on that review but never did, so I'm happy to finally hear the review didn't suck.

Manhunt - really good writing, and argument for the most part, even when I found I didn't agree with most of it, apart from at the broadest level that - Manhunt ultimately isn't all that good, and it's long and samey. I agree with Drella about the opening and maybe the targeting of the violence/stealth stuff.

Thanks for the honor and the positive feedback Drella. I appreciate it. I'm going to try not to let it go to my head that I beat out awesome reviewers like Suskie and Mrmiyamoto.

Thanks for the comments on the review. I admit I got lazy with the main example in the review; I didn't want it to drag out for more than one paragraph, so I picked one of the easier stages.

Thanks for the mention, and congrats to the other winners. True's review was undoubtedly deserving of first place.
