Game Hunt: Gaming Icons Invade Mass Effect

by Jeff Marchiafava on Feb 27, 2012 at 10:15 AM

Forget the Reaper invasion. Commander Shepard needs your help right now defending Mass Effect's universe from a hidden-object army of characters, symbols, and items from popular video games.

Game Informer's talented graphic designer Laleh Azarshin is at it again, hiding popular video game icons in this scene from Mass Effect 2. I've given up trying to find all of these hidden objects myself, but if you're daring enough to play her sadistic game, here are the 20 items Laleh has squirreled away in this picture. To have even a snowball's chance of finding them all, be sure to right click on the image (or this link), and open it in a new tab to see the expanded view.

02. Lurker (Dead Space)
03. Piranha Plant (Super Mario Bros.)
04. Boy (Limbo)
