10 Most Ridiculous Gaming Cameos

3. Snoop Dogg/Lion (Tekken Tag Tournament 2)

So you€™re playing the arcade mode for the first time and just getting the feel for the game. One stage sees you in a building covered in gold. Watching you fight is a man sat on a golden throne of sorts, wearing a purple suit surrounded by scantily clad women. Unlike most background tracks on Tekken Tag Tournament 2 this song actually has words. After listening to the track a little longer the voice sounds familiar €“ it sounds like Snoop Dogg. Come to think of it, that guy in the throne looks like Snoop Dogg€ Needless to say it is Snoop Dogg performing his exclusive track for the game, €˜Knocc €˜Em Down€™. Apparently Snoop is a big Tekken fan and the creators wanted to mix Eastern and Western influences in this title. We€™re not sure if Snoop is actually a fan or if he just needed a bit of extra cash. Considering his recent involvement with the Money Supermarket adverts here in the UK it seems like the latter. Just remember, if it looks like a has-been rapper and sounds like a has-been rapper it most probably is a has-been rapper. It was extremely surprising to see such an influential fighting title to resort to such a ridiculous celebrity cameo though.
