News > Video Game Characters That Look Like Celebrities

April 26, 2007

Game designers are creative people...but sometimes, they get lazy. That's when we start seeing video game characters who look just like celebrities. The first time I noticed it was Balrog (AKA M. Bison in Japan) from "Street Fighter 2." He clearly was based on Mike Tyson (there's even an "ear biting" combo you can...no, I'm lying...and that's a terrible joke). It's a two way street, though. Sometimes, celebrities will somehow end up looking like video game characters (especially when they're playing them in a movie! go figure). Well here's a list of video game characters...and celebrities...who look alike.
