The 4 Best and 4 Worst Games Featuring Celebrities

When fans saw Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077, they went crazy. And when he appeared at E3 to charm them and promote the game, they went even crazier!

This arguably marked a turning point in games. In the past, celebrities appearing in games was a mixed bag. You were just as likely to get a dud of a game rather than something worthy of your fave celebs.

Wondering which celebrity games to try out and which to avoid like the plague? Here we go!

Best: Batman: Arkham Asylum (Mark Hamill)

Most fans know Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, the hero of a galaxy far, far away. However, he also has a robust voice acting career. At the center of this career? His performance as the Clown Prince of Crime!

Hamill voiced the Joker in the iconic Batman: The Animated Series. And he reprised this role (along with many of his cartoon colleagues) in the Batman: Arkham Asylum series of games.

And this isn’t just a good celebrity appearance in a game. Hamill offers the best Joker portrayal in history.

Best: Mass Effect 2 (Martin Sheen)

Martin Sheen is basically Hollywood royalty. And while son Charlie is known for his weird offscreen antics, Martin Sheen is mostly known for his serious onscreen gravitas.

And he brings that gravitas in heavy doses to the Mass Effect series. As the Illusive Man, he keeps you guessing about his motives even as you’re captivated by his performance.

You get your heaviest doses of Sheen in Mass Effect 2. Incidentally, this is the best entry in the series, so it’s very much worth playing.
