Goodfellas Inspiration Rates Gangster Games

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an EGM/Gamers.com article interviewing old-time real-life gangster, Henry Hill, the inspiration for Goodfellas, and letting him playtest the current crop of 'bad guy' videogames. Although not too well-versed on games, he makes some good points with regard to The Getaway ("There's too much traffic. This is like the freeway - why would I wanna do that at home?") and then gets addicted to Animal Crossing, a surprise bonus playtest choice ("I'm not renting this! I'd be too ashamed... I gotta take this home.")

"HH: This animal thing here, this is the longest I've ever been attached to a game. Julian, I could play this with your mother. Give us something in common. Besides sex."
