Daniel Craig reveals addiction to computer games
British actor Daniel Craig, who recently signed a $60 million deal with MGM to play 007 hero, James Bond at least 3-more-times, has revealed that he is addicted to computer games - much to the disapproval of his producer girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell.
Daniel said: “I play games. Hands up. I’m quite into ones that have a big fat story line.
“‘Halo’ is good because it’s shooting aliens.
“Those ultra-violent ones I can play for half-an-hour and then I feel dirty. ‘Vice City’, for example - I think, ‘Oh yes, all right, I’ve stolen 18 cars. I’ve had enough now.’
“I have to pick my time well. If my girlfriend sees the box then it’s all over. If I get some free time, when she goes away for the weekend, I’ll go and play some games.
“I can switch the phone off and not see anybody for a couple of hours. That is blissful. It’s just as well I don’t have much spare time or I would probably fritter it away playing computer games.”
However, 39-year-old Craig admits that he wasn’t overly keen on being involved in a computer game based on his movie ‘Casino Royale’.
He recalls: “When I started signing contracts for Bond I said, ‘I’m not doing the computer game’ and they said, ‘Tough, you are’.
“I said to the people making the Bond game, ‘You’ve got to make this good because there is so much rubbish out there.’ “

Haha, at least he had the gust to say there are a lot of crap Bond games out there. Or maybe he just never played Goldeneye on the N64

The Halo trilogy had some nice storyline to it… Vice city tho, lol. And bond for the 64 was great, very nice… for its time. Neat to know that he plays halo tho… I wonder what his gamertag is :p

Well, he doesn’t say Vice City has a big story line, he mentioned it outside of that field as being something he can’t play for long.
Comment November 24, 2007
seriously, halo sucks balls!! Any GTA game has a much better, interesting, compelling storyline with great character development. I mean Vice City had Ray Liotta playing the main character. Does it get any better? I think not. (well maybe Metal Gear Solid series)
Comment December 9, 2007
man, whoever said any GTA game has a good storyline must be pretty stupid. then again, 99.5% of the people who enjoy those games are on the lower end of the intelligence scale.

I just like to hear that a celebrity has confessed to being a game addict. I haven’t really heard of any other celebrity confessing to gaming….but then again I don’t follow anything to do with celebrities.
For me it seems to make him more…how to put it…human..? The gaming industry is booming and millions and millions of people play games, I always thought that celebrities have better things to do with their lifestyle, like sip martini at exotic beach locations and stuff….not gaming! Just goes to show that celebs don’t live in their own little separate world in a bubble, but are more like everyone else in their spare time.
Good on you Mr Craig! Welcome to the masses.
