Must have a go at it! Could have been done so much better though (like the music one). Subtle references rather than a lineup.

Sasquatch76

Holy bejaysus.

Don't think I'd ever get all of em... But willing to have a go

OMG what a great picture

Coriolanus

Nice pic. They really shouldn't have made all the hollywood stars super big though. :rolleyes:

Holy Moly I recognised more of them than I care to admit. Full throttle is the game that got me into gaming. I must have been around 10 or 11 playing it on my parents macintosh. What a game.

edit: Guybrush Threepwood is in there too! This is great!

edit edit: There was a Watchmen game? Any good?

Yep, a two part download brawler. Not good.

i agree that subtle image references like the movie ones are better than full on ones but the amount of characters all in this one picture is pretty impressive.

Good few in the picture I had forgotten about...
George Stobart, Raziel from Soul Reaver, one of the Battletoads (!)...

PirateShampoo

Fail, no Sephiroth in the line up.

Valmont

Are you sure? It took me a while to find some of the ones I thought would be there...

Fnz

Jesus.... Super Smash Bros EX Plus Alpha Universe 4: The Befuddling?

James Howlett

Anyone want to have a go at collectively trying to name all game references?

I'll start off...

1. Patapon (PSP)
2. Edward - Alone in the Dark (360/PS3)
3. Kameo - Kameo: Elements of Power (360)
4. Green Tank from Advance Wars (DS)

... any takers?

Looking at that makes you realise how many stereotypical, 'edgy', fringe-owning characters have been around recently! They all look the friggin' same!

So far I have;

Master Chief
Solid Snake
Batman
Indiana Jones

I feel safer now that all the other creeps on that page have a worthy adversary.

Found Megaman, im done

Wheres Jehuty?

Valmont

Anyone find any characters from Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines? It's one of my favourite games of all time.

On that note, any characters from Morrowind or Oblivion, can't see them. Warning: I didn't look very hard.
