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.

I dont know if the bomberman WTC was kosher, but it made me laugh.

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.

Gotta appreciate all the references to LucasArts adventure games.

surprised they did the world trade center one. Oh well. The Man in Majora's Mask is hilarious!

Grosse Pointe Blanka!
LOL, Snake's on a Plane is pretty funny too.
World Trade Center? hmmm...

Snake's On A Plane, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Man In Majora's Mask were really funny! I'm a cold, heartless, politically incorrect spawn of Satan, so the World Trade Center was pretty funny to me.
