Should you decide to venture beyond the cover, you'll find both text and video interviews with Irrational Games' Ken Levine, discussion of the E3 demo, and even some factoids about the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition that inspired the game.

That's not at all what I thought he'd look like. The Booker I imagined was a more plump fellow with a curly mustache and a silly hat. This game is now ruined for me.

I suppose you could just imagine that that's what he looks like still because it is a first person shooter.

EGM's article on instruction manuals is a fun read too. I loved their high honors for the Legend of Zelda: LTTP. I remember as a kid reading that story and loving that game even more. That manual created Hyrule for me.
Oh...and BioShock Infinite looks cool too.

@CaptainProtonX The same goes for the original Zelda manual. I just got the game and manual recently, and it actually gives the world life and visuals. There's even an actual story to get you excited

I just checked that out and it reminded me that it has been far too long since I've played LTTP.

...Looks like a sad version of Nate Drake. :\

Except Nate Drake is meant to be like an everyman, right? An everyman during the "Main characters in video games must be everyday-looking-people-but-still-stand-out" phase.
DeWitt looks like he's from the civil war.

Reminds me of the scene in The Incredibles when Mr. Incredible hacks into "Buddy's" computer to see the status of the superheroes around the world- terminated, alive, or unknown.

Booker's hair looks like a way-toned-down version of Cloud's hair.

@ThatGuyFromTV Or he just has a normal good looking haircut. Much better then having a freakin buzz cut like all other main characters.

@darkheartlessriku It's not that I'd prefer a buzzcut, it's just that it looks a little... i dunno... spiky. The wanted picture of him doesn't feel like it has the same problem though. I don't know why, it just kinda puts me off.

@Captain Worcestershire He doesn't look like him at all.

@TheDarkWayne It's just the pose and outfit. He doesn't look anything like Nathan Fillion.

I think that picture might be a little more, "Damn, we're in a tight spot!"
