As the video game industry grows and the technological tools for turning flesh-and-bone actors into digital beings evolve, it’s only natural for Hollywood stars to become more present in games.
Recommended VideosBig gaming awards already recognize the work of voice actors and mo-cap specialists that help to bring some of our favorite characters to life, such as Christopher Judgeas Kratos in God of War and Ashly Burchas Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.

Twelve Minutes is a quirky time-loop game that occurs entirely inside an apartment. The game puts you in control of a man voiced by James McAvoy, who’s stuck in a time loop that lasts exactly 12 minutes. If you do nothing during this time, you learn that your wife, voiced by Daisy Ridley, is pregnant. Soon after that, a police officer, voiced by Willem Dafoe, enters the apartment, accuses your wife of murder, and accidentally kills her and your newborn baby.
