The picture of the Alien and the nuclear Fallout was kind of unnerving... Awesome!

I'm gonna have to say real life toads are cooler than toad. Maybe that's just me.

Also, in general, physics in real life really suck compared to videogame physics.

Maybe old Sonic would of had another win for videogames, but they just aren't what they use to be anymore. =(

Hey now! Sonic himself is alright, he just ends up in the wrong situation; usually poorly made, repetitive, boring situations.

Robots:
Videogames: Pose threat to human life, or will kick ass on your team
Real Life: Vacuum your house

and i'm gonna have to say skeletons in real life look better. compared to those pics charlie put here. There's perfectly good skelleton pictures from oblivion... but who am i to tell.

What else in videogames owns vs real life?

BOSSES

Little brothers

Swimsuits (xtreme volleyball swimsuits)

LIFE (as in sim life, vs real life, think about it, you get laid whenever you want, eat and sleep as much as you want and then you don't have to even see or remember what you did at WORK)

CARS (aside from real life prototypes)

and that's that.

good job charlie charles... you guys keep the ROFLing going.

Two points of contention.
Real street fights are awesome, especially in front of bars with the fighters respective girlfriends screaming at them to stop fighting before the cops show up. Street Fighter the video-games: pretty much button-mashing. Street fighting reality: fighting because you thought someone call you a douche when they didn't.
Dog The Bounty is way more interesting to watch then Samus. Does Samus have Deb or other loser relatives to help her hunt down criminals? Does Samus use paintball guns and a GMC Denalli to hunt down her bounties? NO!
