I got about 166 of them.
(If you say "I recognized X of them! I'm such a no-life!" I'll kill you.)

I think I'd be a no-life if I actually went to the trouble of counting how many I recognize.
I mean, I recognize a guy from The Ship in there. There's, like, everyone in that picture. And that's another thing, are we supposed to count them if we only know them as, "That guy from the cover of Red Dead Revolver".

I was a bit baffled by their selection process -- were these just all files they had kicking around in their high-rez promo artwork directory?

Why, there's exactly 425.
(I cheated.)

There's something in that picture that tells me that there's something seriously wrong with videogames. But I can't tell you what either of those "somethings" are.

The fact that there's so much nearly indistinguishable generic space marines/generic badass people with guns and in business suits/generic wizards?

Meh, this art sucks, just a copy&pase collage. Compare with the samples below:
Now this is both funny and challenging:

And this one also took some work to compile:

I'll bet you can feel the difference :)

We've had them both up here at one time or another, for name-the-characters games :)

Yeah, those are cooler. The Russian one is especially great! The way the chracters are interacting is really inspired. STALKER stealing parts from Crusader and Stroggs from Quake. Freeman lending a bar to Ben to kick Tommy's ass. But my personal favourite is that talent show, involving the greatest gaming villans auditioning before Cthulhu.
