If gaming's stars turned to acting...

Something Awful has posted a plethora of mock film/TV posters, featuring video game characters in leading roles. The collection boasts some brilliant -- and geekishly obscure -- mash-ups, including Run Lolo Run and Bring It Ouendan (to name just a few).

Oliver Stone's World Trade Center meets Bomberman is perhaps pushing it, but ... there are plenty of tamer concoctions that will tickle your senses. Give it a gander.

I made one, but not for Something Awful or anything of that brand of glamour. They have an awesome PS spoof features.

Here it is, anyways.

Don't link to an SA thread and then deem what is "pushing it", their humor does not exist in a vacuum, aside from that the editorial tone is simply childish. If you want to riff on their content don't question it, k thnx.

I actually think MetaHuman's is funnier than most of the ones from that article. Good stuff.

Man, the Phoenix Wright one is absolutely classic. As is Band of Brotherhood of...

And for the record, I beat Bubsy: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, but never finished Bubsy 2 (Attack of the Nerf Product Placement).

They depended on each other, and the industry depended on them.
