The Electronic Wireless Show Podcast episode 163: the best celebrities in games specialI’m huge in games
I’m huge in games
I’m once again back, and I’m badder than ever! To mark my triumphant return to the Electronic Wireless Showpodcast, I (Alice) suggested we talk about our favourite non-game celebrity appearances in games. Not because I’m very famous and important, although I am, but because I wanted to spend some time making fun of Chris Pratt.

LinksMatthew mentions the megastars that are inThe Artful Escapeas like, weird musical snails, or whatever (I haven’t played it). This contrasts withTwelve Minutes, which he feels is more of a ‘celebrity for talking point’ deal, although I thought the voice acting in it was one of the best things about it.
Sean Bean is in a bunch of things, includingOblivion,Hitman 2andCiv 5.
Shout out to the video games of licensed properties using both voice actors doing impressions of the actor from the film, or getting one or two of the Hollywood starlets on board. Or both. We’re talkingGuardians Of The Galaxy,Jurassic World Evolution, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer Chaos Bleeds.
And of course we could not talk about celebs in games without mentioning Hideo Kojima, especiallyDeath Stranding, which is full of the likenesses of famous people. Kojima seems to be, at times, a man who seems to make games entirely to put his friends in them. The Kevin Smith of games???
Recommendationsthis week are translated mysteries viaLocked Room International, the anti-James Bond James Bond podcastKill James Bond, and the return of “what if vampires were fucking stupid, though?” TV show WhatWe Do In The Shadows.
