Faces of gaming: Real vs Virtual

Gary Oldman's a sterling old British actor (not that old, Gary, sorry) and he looks rakish and rough, and... no, we'll stop that. Anyway. We're surprised that, although the resemblance is good - helped no doubt by the poodle hair and similar pose - the game's art team has made Oldman's character look less rugged and more, we🐈ll, puffy.

The 'tache, too, looks a bit more twee than in real life. They've certainly got💮 the hair nailed, though. Just look at that fringe, bobbing over his stern, intellige𒐪nt forehead like... Okay, time to move on.
