UPDATE: Many apologies for the delay in announcing the winners for the most recent debate. However, I now have the names. Without further ado, the following grab the Ellie and Joel Sackboy keyrings: mitchbel1996, DoYouLikeMyID, tiago-kun, DriveKill and Slytha. Congratulations. Look out for a PM to your ID on the official forums later this week.

ORIGINAL POST: You’ll have to forgive me for taking my sweet time over it, but this week I finally cleared the last vestiges of the D.U.P from the streets of Seattle. Yes, I’m done with inFAMOUS Second Son, and a great time it was too.

One of my favourite aspects of the game was its setting – Sucker Punch’s Seattle sandbox. While it might be not be the largest open-world playground in the history of gaming, it’s certainly one of the most colourful, detailed and visually vibrant. It’s an unfettered joy zipping from rooftop to rooftop, stopping occasionally to stab L3 and suspend the action against a stunning Puget Sound sunset.

So, this week’s topic for debate: which is your favourite open-world setting, and why? Red Dead Redemption’s dusty, dangerous frontierland? The streets of Vice City? The weird and wonderful world of Steelport from Saints Row The Third? Drop your suggestions below, allowing with qualifying remarks.

The five most entertaining and/or thoughtful posts, as selected by our external judging panel, win themselves the rather delightful – not to mention extremely rare – pair below. Sackboy Ellie and Joel aren’t commercially available at present, so seize your chance!
