Baldness Out of Hand

Whats with the baldness in video games these days? Its ridiculous. Bald generic looking male characters star in 100% of psychic action video games (most recently in Sucker Punch's inFamous). Its a Fact. Lets take a tour through the male baldness epidemic hitting video game characters everywhere.

Baldur from Too Human

Your Too Human because your Too Bald.

Shepard from Mass Effect

Well Shepard actual has a little hair. So we'll let him go easy.

Sam Fisher and Friends from Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Alright everyone. Well, welcome to the third annual balding vigilante committee.

John Vattic from Second Sight

Lock and load! This new hair folicle treatment system will rejuvante your head in no time flat. psychic powers required

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy by Midway

Anything you have to say to my head, you have to say to me.

Dude from Crysis

We can display vegetation like no other, but not human hair.

Agent 42 from Hitman

My name's Agent 42 and I've had hair loss issues since birth.

Lynch from Kane and Lynch

Noone honors the horse-shoe.

James from Manhunt

What did you say about my head?

GTA IV

Yes, even Niko will be bald before long.

Some Guy from Doom 3

Hey buddy! I'm down here!

The Agent from Crackdown

I didn't know my baldness could be so...powerful.

Also, $20 says Master Chief is bald too.

What gives? Nariko and The Witcher have plenty of hair.

Two whole cell processors are completely devoted to running Heavenly Sword's femme fatale.

For the record, I have nothing against baldness. But I do think its sad that so many developers are just letting their characters go hair free.
