Little Big Adventure 3 / Jon Irenicus / Belgium

Hmmm...I'll have to get caught up.

But for now, in for Trent:

Witcher 4: Unicorns/ Poison Ivy / Russia

In for stg83

ObsCure 3 / Jack the Ripper / Peru

Aya Brea reporting for duty, dressed for the occasion and armed with MaGog's randomiser.

Christmas is a special season for Aya, for it brings back memories --- memories of Eve. Eve, who had erupted upon an unsuspecting New York City in the winter of 1997, unleashing her mitochondria and raiding sperm banks in her quest to give birth to the Ultimate Santa.

But, as Breja so colourfully put it, enough of the past; there is a task at hand, to put an end to a new nightmare, for neverending nightmares will not do. Needless to say, Eve is once more at the root of it, having duped a pigeon to do her bid, to kidnap Santa for her to harvest his genes, splice them into plasmids and integrate them into bacilli, to form an unstoppable army of big-bellied, bearded, bonneted bacteria. Unless, of course, Aya stops her first.

Yet what of the sack? For, the fate of humanity aside, one must remember that a video game is at stake. Santa's sack --- Eve had dismissively discarded it to a dark corner of her lair, where no sun shines and no bat flaps and no more clues, without even dignifying its content with a cursory glance. And what a pity; for the sack was full of presents aplenty, one for each goglodyte, nicelings and naughtilings alike.

A jar of red chrain for _Slaugh_; an alarm clock for Elmofongo; an apple that has seen better days for BranjoHello; a box of antibiotics for helpo1; a "Touch Me" vinyl in mint condition for XYCat; the 3D game that's not in the sack for seikus... And the list goes on.

But Aya is growing listless. She can no longer just sit around, twiddling her thumbs, and blindly guessing the names of planetariumless villains.

Guess #41:
System Shock 3 / Sagat / Norway

Ah well, looks like my first guess was already ruled out. Thanks to everyone who went in for me, btw, as I go through the thread.

If I'm reading them right hints to-date appear to rule out:
1 game
4 countries
4 villains

leaving...7436 combos less what's been guessed of those.

that's what I have, yep!

sanfueg, Japan is known as the Land of the Rising Sun, and that big red circle is a representation of the sun.

Guess #11

The Witcher 4: Rise of the Unicorns / Amanda Evert / Portugal

Quick question because I'm too lazy to search the answer to this right now. :-)
Who is this Mankar Camoran that people seems to like so much?
I believe he is by far the most voted villain here.

Guess #40: Portal 3 / Kane / France.

Works for me. Also, I'm probably going to start the GCV eliminations next round.

Probably because I made 30 Portal/MC guesses. And that's probably because I'm playing Oblivion right now. :P

He's the [url=http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Mankar_Camoran]primary antagonist[/url] of [url=http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion]TESIVO[/url], leader of a cult called Mythic Dawn, worshippers of Mehrunes Dagon - "Daedric Prince of Destruction, Change, Revolution, Energy and Ambition". They murdered the Emperor and (most of) his heirs, because those served as kind of a "barrier" between the mortal world and planes of Oblivion (more about the Oblivion Crisis [url=http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Oblivion_Crisis]here[/url]).

Fun fact for those who haven't played Oblivion yet - this is the lore-friendly Mankar Camoran.
