Love your lists man, such a cool concept.
Also, I loved Witch Hunt. Even though the gameplay and fights were a bit frustating, the first time you enter the forest searching for something (sometimes not even being sure what you are looking for) is incredible and pretty unique.

@gman I won't lie, making random themed lists is more fun than I'd like to admit. Glad you like them!
