This statue of the power armoured soldier from Section 8 is pretty awesome, don’t you think? It – and a copy of the first-person shooter on Xbox 360 – could be yours if you can prove your madness.
Thanks to our friends at Namco Bandai, we have one Section 8 statue (valued at 700 bucks) and three copies of the game on Xbox 360 to give away. One of you will walk away with the statue and game; two runners-up will get the game.
Section 8 is a large-scale, sci-fi first-person shooter where fast-paced action meets military strategy in the far reaches of the galaxy. It has a single-player campaign and a full suite of team-based multiplayer modes.
You take on the role of a member of the 8th Armoured Infantry, essentially a suicide squad called in for the most dangerous missions of all. Hence the name: Section 8 is a US military term used to refer to those discharged for being “mentally unfit” for service.
To be in the running to win, we want you to show us why you deserve to receive a Section 8, too. You need to prove to us just how mentally unfit you are, and thus just how mentally fit you are for this game. Send us photographic proof of your madness to the usual address. (Just make sure you have the Kotaku “K” logo in there somewhere.)
This competition closes at midnight Sunday, November 29. Good luck!
