When you think of a great video game, you don't really think of a celebrity-themed one... but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Want some examples? Shaquille O'Neil's "Shaq-Fu," Britney Spears' "Dance Beat," and Chuck Norris' "Superkicks." And that's just the beginning! Do you think celebrity video games are awesome? Do you play any of them?

GAMES.YAHOO.COM reports:
Celebrity endorsements are one of the oldest tricks in the marketing handbook. Whether it's George Forman lucrative grills, Sly Stallone's low-cal pudding, or Katy Perry's lousy potato chips, famous faces on everyday products are a shortcut to consumer trust, confidence, and subsequent massive sales success.

    This falls right in line with movies made from games. A whole lot of bad games with a rare few gems.

    Apart from the appearance of a celebrity, these games typically have nothing more interesting to offer.

    I enjoyed only a handful of celebrity endorsed video games. Let's not forget that as soon as an athlete becomes part of a superstar status, he's automatically a celebrity. Case in point, sports games. They decide whose face they want to put on the cover of a video game.

    Def Jam video game
    Def Jam video game
    DJ Hero
    Rock Band The Beatles
    NHL cover games
    status automatically celebrity case sports games decide cover video game

    It was endorsed by Daft Punk, with their special remixes added to the first game. The DJ Hero special Renegade edition came with a case that turned into a table for the turntable to sit on, and there was a Jay-Z and Eminem CD included. The CD was specially made and specifically made with the selected tracks to add to the Renegade edition album. They also appeared in the television commercial for DJ Hero.
