Sony wants you to design a Folklore character

It's not too often gamers are afforded the opportunity to have a direct impact on a video game ... like actually getting to create a character, but once again, Sony's giving you that very chance in the Create a Folk contest for Folklore. Currently, there are more than 100 Folks in Folklore, but Sony needs just one more.

Developer Game Republic will turn the winner's artwork into an in-game character that will be downloadable from the PlayStation Store. Even more exciting is that entries will be judged by a panel that includes Yoshiki Okamoto of Resident Evil and Devil May Cry fame.

The competition just kicked off and will run through Oct. 22. To create an entry, you must provide an illustration of your character, his name, a detailed description and a unique attack the player can absorb from him. You can post entries here or e-mail them here.

[Thanks, Kspraydad]

1. So who won the US version of this contest? My girlfriend and I both entered, and we haven't seen anything about it since we entered. The original site even seems to be missing.

You guys know anything?
