25-01-12: Last month, Rockstar gave Twitter followers the chance to have their face appear in the upcoming Max Payne 3.

The casting call turnout activity surpassed their expectations with #MaxPayne3 getting to the top of the worldwide Trending Topics mere moments after being announced.

The first four were announced last week and the final four were announced yesterday.

Check them all out with the official announcement:

First Four

"Harald won us over with his incredible look - with the classic shaved head Mohawk and aggressive demeanor, looks totally like someone who'd be believable facing off in an online deathmatch.

Alexis "Lou" caught our eye with her gauntlet-throw below in our direction and quite true claim that every multiplayer gang needs a bad ass female assassin.

Dave Wheeler is known up in Winnipeg, Canada as morning show mouthpiece of local rock radio station Power 97 and caught our eye with his campaign to proudly let his listeners virtually shoot him in the mugshould he be cast.

And Elvis Marques is a devoted fan hailing from Max Payne 3's locale of Brazil - it's only right that this unit have at least one Brasileiro verdadeiro, and who better than a member of the troop who call themselves the #MaxPayne3 Family (shout to scareface1970, keep it up and good luck!)."

Final Four

"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 Social Club multiplayer event action later this spring as well.

Finally, 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?"

So there we have it. The final designs will be available soon, so check back!
