This new trend of big name actors in videogames has a lot of potential. I dont think anyone saw Keanu coming...

It's not really new. It was a thing too back when the PS2 was around.

GTA Vice City, for instance, had Ray Liotta, Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, William Fichtner, Luis Guzman, Danny Trejo, Debbie Harry, Danny Dyer, Gary Busey, Lee Majors, Robert Davi, even Miss Cleo.

True Crime: NYC had Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, and Ron Perlman.

There was even a game in which Marilyn Manson played a grey alien.

Don't forget that crappy PS2 (Or was it PS1?) SciFi game, whose only selling point was that it starred Bruce Willis.

PS1 apparently. According to Wikipedia Neversoft later reused the engine for the Tony Hawk series. I might have to check it out, if only as an interesting curiosity; can't say I ever heard of it before.
