It's evident by the success of PC titles like Spider-Man: The Movie, City of Heroes, and even the tabletop game Hero Clix that classic comics make for fun entertainment beyond their dusty, worn pages. Perhaps players enjoy the novelty of campy, bloodless battles found in comics in contrast to the trend of realistic videogame violence or maybe the old comic book fear of fascism and communism strikes a chord in gamers living in a new era mindful of terrorism. Regardless, the developers over at Irrational Games recognized that a gaming audience was out there ready to embrace a superhero action / strategy game when they released the successful Freedom Force in 2002. Three years later, they have pooled their resources together to come up with the next chapter in the saga of The Minuteman, El Diablo, and the Alchemiss in Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich.
