[Update: Winners are ME4Twaffle, Will, and The Steamdriven, and runners-up were shadow1w2 and Kickass667!]

In honor of their new 2.5D action-movie-inspired sidescrolling multiplayer extravaganza The Showdown Effect (which we thought was awesome!), our friends at Paradox Interactive have given us five PAX East badges to hand out to the Dtoid community!

In The Showdown Effect, you play as one of several action hero archetypes — the cop one day away from retirement, the kung fu master who owns a pawn shop, etc. — so to win one of these badges we’re asking you to come up with your own action hero! Give him or her a name and a back story and post your submissions in the comments below. After the deadline we’ll award our three favorites with a weekend badge and two runners-up will get a Saturday badge!

You have until this Friday, March 15 at 11:59 PM Pacific to enter, and the contest is open to anyone who can make the trek to Boston, so good luck! Oh, and while you’re at PAX next weekend, be sure to check out the LAN section, where Magicka is playable on every machine!
