The Rockstar Max Payne 3 Twitter competition has come to an end, and the four real-life people’s mugs that will appear in Max Payne 3’s multiplayer mode have been revealed

You needed to use the hash-tag and game’s title on Twitter to stand a chance. Rockstar then chose the four people who will get to have their likeness as the face featuring in Max Payne 3 as gang character members.

Here are the winners:

Shohei (first from left in picture above) aka @hakuchitare is a huge Rockstar fan who works as an acclaimed illustrator in his native Japan. His distinctive look, with hair shaved on the sides and slicked back on top, will look right in place amidst the gang’s rogues gallery and do well to represent Max Payne 3’s setting of Sao Paulo which has the largest Japanese community in the world outside of Japan.

Hamish (2nd from left) aka @silenthamish had been amongst the most prolific tweeters during the event and went super hard in the final weeks – a massive fan proudly from Melbourne, Australia who’s promised to portray an inherently tough road warrior online.

Jaclyn (3rd from left) aka @jaclynejimenez is a PC gamer from our own homebase of NYC. Her dream of getting her face in the game has come to pass, and looks like she’s ready to celebrate with some

And Nick (4th from left above; and right) aka @TwisBeats works in the underground rap scene of London and is someone we spotted back in the 2nd week of the event and contacted for photos.

Nick was just about losing hope of being chosen, but c’mon – how could we say no to this guy?

Well done to the winners and we look forward to shooting your ass… ets come May.

By following @RockstarGames and using the #MaxPayne3 hashtag gets you the opportunity to randomly be spotted.

Rockstar will then contact you for a picture and two finalists will be chosen each week who will have their likeness appear as a multiplayer gang character in Max Payne 3.

The winner of the hamper – kindly sponsored by Megarom – consisting of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and Transformers: Dark of the Moon is Siya Sizani.  Congratulations Siya.

And to all the other entrants – thank you.  We continue to appreciate your support and promise to have plenty more give-aways in the future.  Who knows, next time you might be the lucky winner.

Megarom has an amazing competition running for Assassin’s Creed Revelations.  Actually, amazing might be a small understatement.  It’s an absolutely, mind-blowing, supremely awesome competition where you can win some Assassin’s Creed Revelation goodies – games, branded clothing, etc. – as well as an Xbox 360 and Samsung TV.

You need to head over to their Facebook Competition Page and count the number of Altair’s and Ezio’s and you’re away.  You will need a valid TV Licence for South Africa, as well as be a resident in South Africa.

Megarom have kindly offered a hamper of two Xbox 360 games that are movie related for one of our lucky readers to win.

The hamper consists of the new James Bond game GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and the most recent Transformers game – Dark of the Moon.

If you want to double your chances of winning either follow us on Twitter and/or like us on Facebook and you will receive a second entry into the competition along with your email entry.

Please note:

This competition valid to South African residents only.
The winner will be randomly drawn after the entries close at noon on Monday 14 November.

EA Sports are giving FIFA fans the opportunity to write your club into the record books this season with ‘EA SPORTS FOOTBALL CLUB’, new with FIFA 12.

Press release:

Claim a place for your favourite club on the world’s longest fan scarf. Post your message of support via Twitter or Facebook for the chance to have it knitted for real into a metre of world-record-breaking scarf. To enter, keep up with EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter or Facebook and get the alerts to find out when each round is open.

There will be eight rounds in total, with each round being a new chance to get your message on the scarf. Places are limited – it’s first-come, first-stitched, so be ready to write your message of support for your club. Only the fastest will make the cut before the round closes, and have their message stitched into the scarf.

If successful, you could be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Rooney, Kaka, and other football legends, plus stars from the world of gaming, who will all claim a piece of the scarf. You’ll also become part of football history by helping set a new Guinness World Record.

With each alert, you’ll be invited to the campaign site to write your message. If you’re a Twitter pro, you can also tweet your message of support straight from your phone. You’ll need to include #FIFA12SCARF, and hashtag your club name and the colour you want your piece of scarf to be. There are a bunch of other tips and tactics that you can check out on the site to help you boost your chances of getting on the scarf. Of course, you’ll have to keep it clean, as the moderators will have their eyes on all messages. But you’ll also need to keep it lean, with an 88-character limit for every message. We reckon it might also pay to have your message worked out before each round kicks off, so you don’t waste time thinking.

We ran all the names of the entrants through a randomiser that resembled a medieval torture device.  We then had our independent auditor verify the validity of the draw.  And finally we let Undead Ed take a nice long walk in the grounds of the estate to contemplate life and whether winning really is that important.

Well, it certainly is if you’re a winner.  If you’re a loser you’ll make an excuse along the lines of: “it’s the taking part that counts”.  And you’d be right.  Thank you for taking part.  Next time we promise it will be you that walks away the winner.

And, without further procrastination, congratulations to our awesome three winners of:

The Megarom Interactive Superhero Hamper:

Marc Luck

To be fair, with a surname like that he was always going to win something in his life.

The Apex Interactive Rugby Hamper:

Hylton Arendse

And to the person that answered ‘New Zealand’… well, I know who you are.

Battlefield Xbox 360 Game Give-away:

Warren Ferguson

I’ve never seen so many attempts at bribery in my life before.  Good work.  Next time send your credit card details first…

Thanks again to everyone that entered, your support (or desire for free stuff) is much appreciated.  We hope to be able to offer more give-aways and competitions more regularly, because we live to see your happy winning smiles.

Thanks to Dion Wired, we have an Xbox 360 copy of Battlefield 3 to give away to a lucky reader.

In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines. As the first boots on the ground, players will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York. As a U.S. Marine in the field, periods of tension and anticipation are punctuated by moments of complete chaos. As bullets whiz by, as walls crumble, as explosions force players to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before – all thanks to the awesome power of Frostbite 2 technology.
