Video Game Characters Superimposed in the Real World

The concept of placing video game characters in the real world is an interesting idea.  In fact the idea is probably stronger than the results shown here.  However, these images will hopefully inspire more Photoshop enthusiasts to follow suit…

My 'Photoshopped-image' expectations were set much higher after the untooning examples seen on Trend Hunter several months ago. 

I would just love for someone to be able to take this concept and do it properly so the images can really really rock.
