For a limited time only, I'm giving away a free horror & dark fantasy ebook.

In addition to the big Halloween treat (free loot!) I have in store for you on the 31st, here's a look back at some of my favorite Spooky Lookalikes.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Karin (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) & Gackt (Everyman)

Thanks to everyone who submitted a lookalike over the past few days (especially the ones with pictures). I'll get to posting your stuff as soon as I'm done with this mini-Gactk marathon. In the meantime, here's another one.

All this cross-dressing is strangely appropriate, with Halloween looming on the horizon. It seems every year, the only guys who dress up in costumes all go for the "slutty cheerleader" look, which in itself makes a strong argument for going out on Halloween in a "blindfolded prisoner" costume. At least then, you don't have to see hairy lumbermill legs poking out of miniskirts. Blarg.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Paine (Final Fantasy X-2) & Gackt (Mr. Gackt)

When I showed Googleshng my last update he said, "I have to wonder if you're going to do any of these that AREN'T by Tetsuya Nomura." Well, I showed him the Gackt picture above, and we both searched for the perfect non-Tetsuya lookalike. We gave it the old college try and found a number of contenders, including Lara Croft and Tekken's Nina. But in the end, it all came down to this. Tetsuya Nomura loves drawing Gackt.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) & Gackt (J-Bowie)

Gacktathon continues with this lookalike from Final Fantasy VII.

Imagine a live action FFVII movie. Man would that suck. I bet you anything they wouldn't spring for Mr. T. They'd no doubt hire Gackt, thereby invalidating this lookalike, for the same reason the Jean Reno Onimusha lookalike doesn't count. As fun as it is for me to catch some company tracing some Hollywood actor's face, the minute they fess up, it's just not fun anymore.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Tidus (Final Fantasy X) & Gackt (Musician)

Every now and then, a the lead character from a modern Final Fantasy title can look like a dude, provided that dude is Gackt. Special thanks to secret agent Haley, who submitted this way back in 2006. As you can see, the evidence supporting my theory about the Japanese David Bowie™ is growing. Stay tuned for more Videogackt Lookalikes.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Genesis (Crisis Core) & Gackt (Japanese Bowie)

I've been sitting on a secret so long, my butt is going numb. This is bigger than Project Nightshade, maybe even -- dare I say? -- bigger than David Bowie.

There's another androgynous rock star serving as template for half the game characters out of Japan. The one and only... Gackt.

Over the next few days, I'll reveal enough creepy evidence to put Wearhouse 13 and Eerie, Indiana and the X-Files to shame.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
G-Man (Half-Life) & David Bowie (star of every game)

Here's another fine, fine lookalike from our old pal, Erik the Viking.

[2009-09-02]

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Kefka Palazo (Final Fantasy series) & Heath Ledger (Joker)

The second I saw Kefka's new look in Game Informer's Dissidia: Final Fantasy review, I had to upload this sucker. Yeah, it's not perfect, but only because this is a picture of the action figure, not a shot from the movie. Heath was obviously blonde under all that greasy green dye, but the toy collectible figurine went with more of a classic green 'do.

Of course, I use the phrase, "Kefka's new look" lightly.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Lucas Simms (Fallout 3) & Danny Glover (Actor)

Don't worry, folks. I'm not getting to old for this !@#$. But you know who is? Danny Glover. I hear he was just one day away from retirement, when he had to fly down here and recreate Lucas Simm's post-apocalyptic cowboy look.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Mr. Slam (Twisted Metal 2) & James Rolfe (AVGN)

Today's lookalike was sent in by Ryoku75. If you don't recognize the frustrated looking gentleman on the right, it's because you have yet to witness the caustic rants of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Warning: AVGN is extremely NSFW, on account of loveable catchphrases like, "I'd rather gargle [disgusting substance] and have a [farm animal] [do something] to my [what??] than play this."

Yes, AVGN is an acquired taste, but then again I imagine [disgusting substance] would be too.

Video Game Look-Alike o' the Day:
Cid (Final Fantasy VIII) & Oliver Stone (Director)

Final Fantasy VIII's Cid is something of an everyman -- in that he looks like every man. He's the most popular lookalike among the Cids. (There's also Final Fantasy VI's Cid, who doesn't resemble a man so much as a -- ahem -- certain product designed for men. Cid doesn't appear at all in Final Fantasy 1, although he was later ret-conned into the remakes.
