GameSpy’s GotY 2005 Awards: FF vs. Third Reich

Irrational Games’ Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich was able to nab the eighth spot in GameSpy’s “Game of the Year 2005” awards. Check it out:

In the end, Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is the quintessential example of the wisdom of letting a creative team follow their own muse. Imagine the pitch meeting for a superhero game that doesn’t wallow in the post-modern irony and “dark and edgy” angst of modern comics. “You mean you want to make superheroes that are fun, silly, and upbeat? It’ll never work.” Well, Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich does work, and it works brilliantly. Whether you’re a strategy gamer, a comic book fan, or just want to play a game that’ll bring a smile to your face from the moment the program starts, this is your game.
