Objects of desire

Every year, the most powerful men and women in the games industry put themselves in the spotlight at E3 and other press events. So, naturally, our first thought was to make fun of them. It's all good-natured, of course. We found a bunch of random objects that looked like the games industry's biggest stars, and Photoshopped them next to images of the real people for comic effect. Now, we make our fair share of funny features here on GamesRadar, but honestly--genuinely--we're deeply proud of what we've created here...
