Stonking Great Game Winner Announced

Since August, members of The Escapist community have been hard at work creating flash games for our fist ever Stonking Great Game contest. We had a ton of great submissions that our distinguished list of industry judges had to play and eventually choose one as their favorite. After countless hours of gaming, they have made their decision. Congratulations to "Yahtzee's Last Stand," created by [user]Alconja[/user]! As promised, this game will be featured in a upcoming special Zero Punctuation and and is available for viewing HERE [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1096-Dragon-Age-Origins].

Here is a list of industry elites who helped us judge this contest, along with our own Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw:

Dan Teasdale: Design Lead, Harmonix
Richard Dansky: Central Clancy Writer, Red Storm
Chad Dezern: Studio Director, Insomniac
Nate Fox: Game Director, Sucker Punch
Greg McClanahan: Director of Games, Kongregate
Kelly Zmack: President, Radical
Brian Bright: Project Director, Neversoft
Joby Otero: Chief Creative Officer, Luxoflux


Since there were so many great entries in the Stonking Great Game contest, we felt the only way to truly recognize the cream of the crop for their hard work and dedication would be to let The Escapist community play all of them! There are 22 games for you to play free of charge, so sit down, grab your favorite drink and get ready for some quality flash gaming... Zero Punctuation style.

Congrats again to [user]Alconja[/user] and all of the entrants for making this event such a success.

At first I thought that the list of judges was the list of winners. I was pretty surprised to see that someone from Harmonix had time to enter this contest.

Congrats, Alconja! I look forward to seeing Yahtzee tear your game to pieces soon.

I feel sorry for the guy who made "stonking great contest" as most of the reviewers didn't manage to work out how to play the game...

Pretty much, I personally beat the game myself, HOWEVER what to do was not exactly obvious nor was it explained, why they didn't figure it out I can understand, I was able to do it by accident, however past that It was not very hard for me to complete either, All I had to do was hold down the "up" and the "right" key and I reached the end purely from that (The first level regarding the "poo") alone, however past that it wasn't hard either.

My point is that though alright it wouldn't have been in the top 3 position. However you have to admit it once definitely one of the strongest entries.
