Congratulations, everyone! I think I overheard Hourences say that drinks were on him tonight. And now, the big-ass list of Phase 4 winners:
"Phase four of the $1 Million Intel Make Something Unreal Contest is like graduation of sorts. It's the culmination of long-term game development efforts resulting in outstanding mods we've seen evolve from phase to phase. Mod authors have built up their creations, sought feedback from their peers in the Unreal community, received support through previous phase winnings, and now we're down to where the best and the brightest teams really shine. We're so pleased to shower these guys with prizes and recognition, and we're eager to help them all achieve professional success."
