Have you noticed this too? It's not just me, then. Every action hero-- well, a large proportion of them, anyway, tend to look like Vin Diesel. They all have shaved heads, frowns and featureless mugs. They're cookie-cutter, archetypal action heroes - and they all look like each other.

The sad part is that I can find more characters that DON'T LOOK like Vin Diesel, than I can that do (the bald, tough guy look). IGN just plays to many Space Marine games me thinks :/
Naw, not all of this gen's main characters are thugs, there are plenty of spikey haired girlie boys from Japanese games to balance things out. In the end its a sign of the times really, back in the 90s most video characters have that Arnold look to them, now it's Sam Worthington. No biggie.
Game characters are generally good looking guys/gals, from a esthetic point of view, designers don't have much room for creativity when designing characters.
I do agree with the article, game characters and their personalities are getting pretty bland and stale in the latest games. Some games the devs handle it real well, but it gets old after a while when personalities in games are overused, especially character design also.
Totally agree.
