With Rainbow Six Vegas for the Xbox 360 and an Xbox Vision camera you can map your face onto your character and earn 30 achievement points. Speaking of the number six, it took about that many attempts to get the function to work properly and the results of my face (above and below) were merely ok.

I like games that use the bright lights of Vegas as a backdrop. You might think the action all takes place in Vegas, but it doesn’t, the campaign actually starts in Mexico, then moves to a train station, the mines, the Vegas strip and then the Calypso Casino.

We bought the Limited Edition ($69 USD) which includes a bonus CD with the making of Rainbow Six, a look at the Rainbow Six franchise and more. Not sure the extras are worth the extra 10 bones, but I’m sure it gives the game a little better resale value for those who go that route when their tired of playing.

This isn’t the first virtual world my face has been put in, as I commissioned my face to be put inside Second Life (below). Not sure which version is better the darker Rainbow Six or more jokerish from Batman in SL. If only both could have made me better looking!

A creative use of the Xbox Vision camera and way to customize characters in a game. Would like to see more games do this. I wonder if it works with a picture of a cartoon character like Homer Simpson? Doh!

Did this post make you go hmm?
