Irrational Games launches Freedom Force character-design contest

Ever wanted to play mad scientist and create your own superhero? Irrational Games may not be able to supply you with radioactive spiders or gene-splicing technology, but it is offering the next best thing: the chance to design your own comic-book-style superhero and have him/her included in the upcoming PC title Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. In addition to having the design featured in the upcoming game, the winner will also be mentioned in the game's end credits, receive a copy of the game, and get a personalized sketch of the hero from one of the game's character designers. Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is scheduled for a March 2005 release. For more information, check out the official announcement.
