Real people in computer games

[Crazy Eddie]

There's a news story in the UK at the moment that reveals that James Plaskitt, MP for Warwick and Leamington in England appears in the FPS Operation Flashpoint as a platoon commander. (he was included after a visit to the games makers, Codemasters) Who else do you think should be "immortalised" in this way? Bill Gates as a boss in Doom 3 anyone?

I think Osama bin Laden could be the first easiest boss in Unreal II or Quake 4, easy way to relieve stress

World leaders as characters in Unreal tournament or Quake 3.

Imagine fragging Jiang Zemin!

One can already imagine an Afghanistan mod being worked on for Ghost Recon.

We all know that Bruce Cambell (Ash From Evil Dead 1, 2, and Army of Darkness) IS Duke Nukem.

ok, seriosly people... games when they put real people in look gay...

I think it would be cool if a game like hitman, dues ex etc, ('real' games), had a GOOD model of Osama it would look cool, but often they look like crap and out of place.
