Strangely tucked away in an article on the BBC Technology page today was a sly reference at what one Gavin Ogden from www.c&vg.com might do given the opportunity to face-map on upcoming Xbox computer games.

"There was talk, a long time ago, about mapping people's faces on to characters," said Mr Ogden.

"However, there were concerns that people would stick real faces on it - such as Gordon Brown - and then spend all day shooting them. The world wasn't ready for that."

I guess that means we're ready for it now! I must confess- I've been picturing Gordo's head on the body of a grunt for a long, long time. Pass the Gravity Hammer.
