Hip Games Announces "Who Wants To Be A Zombie" Contest

By Eric Qualls, About.com

Hip Games today launched a competition for three lucky winners to become zombies in the upcoming zombie shooter, City of the Dead. Developed by Kuju Entertainment, City of the Dead will be released on PS2, PC, and Xbox in Q1 2006.

“We thought this would be a great opportunity for George A. Romero fans to get some ‘face time’ with one of his titles before the 2006 ship date,” said Arindra Singh, President and CEO of Hip Interactive Corp. “We look forward to also getting a sneak peek at what Romero fans look like, as well!”

To enter, all you have to do is submit one digital photo of yourself with an angry facial expression. Those selected as finalists will be asked for additional photos with other facial expressions. It was specified that long hair should be tied back in a ponytail and glasses should be removed for the photos.

The contest is open online at the official contest website from June 8th – June 20th

All entrants must be 18 years or older and winners will be required to sign a model release form. Three winners will be randomly selected on June 22 and announced on GameSpot’s weekly live show the week of June 27, 2005. The three winners will be zombies in the game, receive credit in the game’s manual, and a free copy of the game.
