Goodfellas Inspiration Rates Gangster Games

Posted by simoniker on from the only-in-wacky-videogame-publishing-world dept.

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.")
