Nothing against the winner; it's a smart and skillful piece of work but it doesn't grab me and I think it will look dated very quickly (as soon as the current Matrix-mania is over, in fact). My problem is with the transparently dishonest 'community vote'. It would have been more convincing if the PTB had chosen from our top 5. But our top 25? Come on. That's basically saying, "We'll let you think you're getting a choice whereas all you're really doing is dumping the majority for us." The community says, "Hey, let's have a funky fun feel to the place." The PTB says, "OK. Industrial-dystopian it is then." Like I said above, typical.
