Have you guys seen recent issues of Game Informer?

It seems like every issue they are spotlighting a game that features characters from old movies. The old movie is licensed, along with the characters in the movies and the models of the people are actually modelled after the way the people looked in that movie at the time.

For example, there is a James Bond game comming that stars Sean Connery, there is a game called "The Warriors" that has all the guys from that movie, you also have "The Godfather", etc, etc. etc.

It's just kinda strange that we are now at a graphical level with the characters where you can take a old movie and make the game character look damn close to what the guy looked like in the old movie. Even if the guy is dead, or much much older now. They are using the version of the guy at that time.

It's kinda weird.

It makes me wonder when we will be playing games where we are John Wayne or James Dean or Charleton Heston or whatever.

What do you guys think about this recent trend that's developing?
