Ren: Your intellect is as weak as your lien.

Ren: Failure is your destiny and you disrespect yourself and your kingdom.

Ren: You are made of stupid.

Randomised Gaming takes an in depth look at the many problems, issues and errors, Xbox 360, One & Series S/X users can face when buying Xbox 360 games. This is a must watch as our editor looks at the mounting number of issues Xbox 360 owners can face, is it time Microsoft rethink the shutting down of the store? On the 29th of July not only will key free patch DLC no longer be available, but as it stands some content downloads are disappearing from users download list while others refuse to download or work at all. Not to mention the fact games are being delisted from the store even before the shutdown.

We are raising a number of consumer issues in this video to help raise awareness of the issue and that this in turn help people become aware of the problems and start asking Microsoft some tough questions. Many of these issues need to be fixed.

Weekend Top Ten #543

Top Ten Celebrities in Videogames

This feels like a topic I’ve been postponing for a while, and yet here I am writing it in a rush. Go me. That’s partly because of the hot heat last week, and also because I was kinda expecting to write a “cool things I read about at SDCC” list. Except that, really, I didn’t feel there was enough there to make a list. Even the Marvel Studios panel, as incredibly exciting as it was, didn’t really give out a megaton announcement; no Spielberg directing Fantastic Four, no Daniel Radcliffe as Wolverine, etc. Not to say it was disappointing at all – Cap! Daredevil! Kang! – but I just don’t think I could pad it out to a full list. Anyway, here we are, turning back to something I was gonna write a few weeks ago, and it’s on the subject of famous people turning up in computer games.

It’s actually not at all uncommon for A-list Hollywood actors to appear in a videogame nowadays. Just like voicing an animated movie, there’s no stigma attached to playing a videogame character. Even if we just want to talk about games that feature fully-voiced characters played by actors, there are people in the world who’ve grown up knowing nothing else, so it makes sense. Having said that, there are celebrities who jump out when you think about gaming performances. Whether it’s a particularly idiosyncratic performance, or someone who you just wouldn’t think would do this sort of thing, or even if it happened at a time – let’s say the nineties – when a famous actor being in a game was a lot more rare, sometimes the association of Hollywood and Electronics Boutique gives a game a certain something.

So this list really is just me talking about my favourite moments of famous people in games. I know there are a lot missing – quite a lot of huge mainstream narrative games feature celebrities nowadays – and also this isn’t a critique of any performances. These are just ones that, for one reason or another, I think are really cool.

Anyway, that’s it. Nothing more to say. Oh, except that I really wanted to include Chris Barrie in Simon the Sorcerer, but unfortunately I’ve never played the CD release with full spoken audio. I had the game on the Amiga 1200 so I had to read the text like a plumb. Can you imagine?

Everyone in Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 (2008): where to start with this, the mother(Russia)lode of celebs in games? Well, you’ve got J.K. Simmons as the President of the United States; George Takei as the Emperor of Japan; the likes of Jonathan Pryce and Peter Stormare popping up in supporting roles; and, piece de resistance, Tim Curry as the Soviet Premier. Everyone knows what type of product they’re in, relishing the chance to break out their B-movie moves, hamming it up till the cows come home. It’s delicious, never more so than Curry’s tremendous, flamboyant, demented performance. “SPAAAAAACE!”

Christopher Lloyd in Toonstruck (1996): back when full-motion video and CD audio were both in their ascendency, Toonstruck gave us not only FMV cutscenes (featuring Ben Stein as Lloyd’s boss), but also an animated adventure starring a plethora of voice actor superstars (including Curry again!). and, leading the pack, as the human in a toon world, was Lloyd, put-upon, dishevelled cartoonist-cum-reluctant hero. It’s a great performance, and the mid-nineties thrill of controlling a photographic human avatar in an animated world helped sell the Roger Rabbit vibe of the whole thing. A cult classic and forgotten gem.

Martin Sheen in Mass Effect 2 (2010): there are some people you just don’t expect to crop up in a game, and I’d say President Bartlet is one of them. Lending his sonorous voice and regal gravitas, he plays the mysterious and somewhat nefarious Illusive Man, a secretive chain-smoking string-puller with funny eyes. It’s a performance loaded with quiet menace, as we don’t know quite how far to trust this clearly shady fella; whether his ends-justify-the-means schtick will prove ultimately necessary. He walks that line between outright pantomimic villainy and morally grey necessity perfectly, giving the story a heck of a backbone.

Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077 (2020): whereas Sheen was a serious presence that was a surprising addition to a game, Reeves is just, like, super famous. What’s Neo doing in a game? You can’t really go much bigger; Leo, Tom, or Will, probably (Will before Oscar night, natch). And it’s not just a performance; he’s there, digitally recreated. It’s fitting for the trippy cyberpunk (small c) plot. And it’s kind of a shocking role as he’s sort of the villain, and certainly a dark, vulgar character, dropping c-bombs and killing dudes all over the place, as well as slowly erasing the player’s personality with his own. He lends the game a good deal of cool credibility, and gives a performance that elevates the whole thing. He’s breath-taking.

Jack Black in Brutal Legend (2009): the part of a schlubby roadie in a heavy metal-inspired action game seems tailor made for Black. It’s not so much he makes the role his own as the character just is Black, or at least a version of his common screen persona. Part School of Rock, part Tenacious D, part High Fidelity, that Black – Black in his ascendency, peak of his leading man career – is distilled into this one

Mark Hamill in Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger (1994): the Wing Commander games already leaned into the cinematic right from the start, with operatic stories and animated cutscenes. So going the full motion video route wasn’t too much of a surprise, but adding the genuine sci-fi star wattage of Luke Skywalker was a bit of a flex. I’ll be honest: I’ve not played the game enough to know how it all panned out, but back there and back then, the fact that Mark Hamill was flying starfighters again (whilst looking a bit more grizzled and badass than he ever did in an X-Wing) was huge.

Christopher Walken in Ripper (1996): another journey into the glory days of mid-nineties FMV, Ripper was a frankly pretty crap “interactive movie” where you solved a series of grisly murder by basically doing 3D jigsaws and sliding-block puzzles. But my mate had it and was obsessed by it, mostly due to Walken going really big as a belligerent and foul-mouthed detective. “You can’t slice bacon with a baseball bat” is one of his less-fruity lines.

Nathan Fillion in Halo 3: ODST (2009): Fillion’s role as Buck in the Halo games has carried on from ODST, most recently appearing in Halo 5. ODST was amusing as something of a Firefly reunion, with Alan Tudyk (yay!) and Adam Baldwin (boo!) also making appearances. But it was Buck that endured, leaning into Fillion’s performance, his appearance becoming more of a recreation of Fillion’s own face as technology improved. He’s the good, kind, earnest teammate, eventually graduating from ODST to Spartan, and all the while he’s got that little bit of Nathan Fillion twinkle.

Terry Crews in Crackdown 3 (2019): as a huge Crackdown fan – the original is up there with Fable II and Halo 3 as one of my favourite Xbox 360-era games – even I have to admit that Crackdown 3 was a bit disappointing after all the hullaballoo, but one thing it got right was Terry Crews. The face of the game, his character – a veteran agent – really leans into Crews’ established persona, basically being Terry Crews But An Agent From Crackdown. It’s like Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Sergeant Jeffers, but from an alternate, dystopic timeline. And he is – of course – hilarious, part life coach, part drill instructor, part affable idiot.

Steven Spielberg in Steven Spielberg’s Director’s Chair (1996): okay, I’m gonna confess; I’ve never actually played this game. But by God I wanted to. A huge fan of movies, especially Spielberg movies, and Tarantino movies (he’s in this too), the thought of playing a game hosted by The Beard himself, that allowed you to make your own movie, and it also had Tarantino and Jennifer Aniston in it? This sounded so far up my street that it was essentially sleeping in my bed. The fact that it got mediocre reviews, criticising its limited gameplay, was neither here nor there; I wanted my Spielberg FMV editing game, dammit. In later years I’ve taken to wondering: who directed the FMV sequences? Not just the Spielberg bits, but the scenes of Tarantino and Aniston? With Steve’s name on the box, imagine just how intimidating that must have been. Balls of steel and all that.

Speaking of Jennifer Aniston, it’s not a game per se, but I’ve always got time to rewatch the “introduction to Windows 95” corporate video thing that she made with Matthew Perry. The nineties were, as they say nowadays, a lot.

One of arguably the few things Red Alert 3 did right was to remain umcompromising on the British Spies' "Disguise" ability. Attack dogs, war dolphins, armored bears, all fair game.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

Also there is no possible interpretation here that is not wonderful

Ok, finished the Russian campaign of Red Alert 3 for a 2nd time.

Of course the final mission is easier than the mission before it, like the Volcano is harder than the Statue of Liberty mission due to having to destroy the Vacuum Imploder in 20 minutes.

So, basically the strategy is after the Iceland mission basically just spam Kirovs and you win, because the blimp does a lot of splash damage.

I feel like the Statue of Liberty is a step down to a secret volcano lair that you have to destroy.

I forgot that when you win you only become "President" of Russia instead of going on a date with one of the girls, because in the Allies and Japan ending I think you win a date with the girl that briefs you before each mission.

At least as leader of Russia it means you can work beside Dasha and Zhana more, so that makes it worth it imo

Was this sub-series finale a player's paradise or choked by capitalism?
