Kevin Facey

The debut trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is here, and it is absolutely filled to the brim with information about the upcoming FPS. But what stuck out to most people is the appearance of Kevin Spacey, who's presumably playing the villain in the next CoD. Spacey has been all the rage as of late thanks to House of Cards, and this role could vault his career into the gaming space.

It got us thinking: What if Kevin Spacey was the villain in even more video games? He's a legendary actor, with a lot of fine films under his belt. Surely he'd be able to adapt to any part he was given. With that in mind, let's take a look at what video games would be like if Kevin Spacey was the primary antagonist.
