The jinx is almost over. Gamespot reports that the computer game Freedom Force has gone gold, meaning it will be in stores soon (probably the last week of March).
Finally, a superhero game has finally made it from development to actual product. For some reason, although computer games and comic books should be a good match (look at all the console games based on comic book franchises), about the only super hero games for computers are crappy ports of console fighting and side scrolling games.
Freedom Force, however, is a real time strategy game emphasizing the sort of bigger-than-life superhero/villan slugfests. It looks like they’ve done everything right, making the game easy to modify so players can create pretty much any sort of superhero/villain they can think of (and the game characters are fully skinnable so there are already hundreds of skins for pretty much every character you can think of).
Woo hoo.
