Ruffian including this fan-made graffiti in Crackdown 2 photo

Apparently, Ruffian Games held a contest where artists were asked to submit graffiti that would be used in Crackdown 2. I never got the memo, but enough people did to make the results impressive. There's a thread full of all the winners right here.

The 42 winning designs will be implemented in Crackdown 2 and their creators are all getting a free copy of the game. Most of the graffiti will be combined to form montages, but a lucky few will have their art appear in Pacific City by itself.

I really do hope our favorite entry, the one up there, gets the special treatment. For everyone who didn't win, you may have another opportunity to take part in something similar. Since the team was so pleased with the results, there will likely be another contest for the next Ruffian game.

This seems entirely appropriate, considering the last time I played Crackdown, me and Wilbo went about harpooning men.

Hahaha, epic. I think this is a good step towards acceptance in games. It's not gratuitous nor vulgar.

Now that the dont ask dont tell policy is out the window for the US army, this will be the new logo/trademark for its new policy regarding gays in the military.

This sort of makes me want to buy Crackdown 2, without having played the first one.

If only it were true that DADT was out the window. I'll believe it when I hear about it on gay blogs. Too many good men and women purged because of bigotry.

Like the art here.

Can't believe the comparison to banksy tho.

It's a blatant rip-off of the Banksy of two coppers snogging.

the gay thing isn't a big deal, although the subtle implication that they have just brutally fisted each other doesn't sit well with me. if they had been shooting stuff, wouldn't their guns also be blood spattered?
