... along with 10 other tormentable celebrities who were slipped into games without their knowledge

Liu Kang, Fei Long and Marshall Law are all... Bruce Lee
When Bruce Lee died under mysterious circumstances way back in 1973, it didn't take long before lookalikes started lining up to cash in on his legacy. Sporting names like Bruce Le, Bruce Li, Bruce Lai and Bruce Liang, these ripoff artists started churning out derivative kung fu films before Lee's body was even cold. Granted, it didn't take much to convincingly imitate the icon: all you needed were sharp Asian features, a black mop-top, a ripped, shirtless physique and the ability to howl in a falsetto. So it's really not surprising that the videogame industry would go and do the same thing several times over.

Strangely, games that are actually about Bruce Lee - like Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon - haven't done as well. Mainly because they suck. On that note, here's a brief message to anyone thinking about making another Lee game (which we can only assume you'll name Quest Story: Dragon of the Bruce Lee): the man's face alone is not enough to sell a game. Seriously, we can get that anywhere.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
