More Excellent Games Coverage at MSN.Com

Which celebrities look like video game characters?

That's what MSN is asking this week, and although Eric Clapton may well look a bit like Gordon Freeman, there are a couple of questionable entries in there;



Really? David Bowie and Leon S. Kennedy? Bowie is about 100 years older than Leon. Surely Leonardo DiCaprio would be a better choice, he even has the same first name.



Wow that was a difficult choice, let's choose someone who's actually played Lara Croft for a short period in her career, and then acknowledge it at the bottom of the image. Anybody would've been better than choosing an actual Lara Croft model. Nigella Lawson? Sophie Winkleman? Anyone with brown hair and tits?

I'd rant about this more, but the tech editor behind it is Jane Douglas, a woman, and a mildly pretty one at that:



I say pretty I mean, I wouldn't say no, probably. Come to think of it you never see any lower than the top of her shoulders. For all I know she could have spindly robotic chicken legs attached to the base of her torso, or worse - she could be in a wheelchair!

Further research shows that she is in fact a brothel-keeper from the 18th century, though it's possible it could be a different woman.
