Henry Hill (Mr. Goodfellas) Plays Videogames with EGM

Did you guys check out EGM this month? There's a great article for GTA fans and crime movie buffs. EGM sat down with Henry Hill, author of the book that inspired the film Goodfellas (he's the Ray Liotta character) and had him play Vice City, Hitman 2, The Getaway, and Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing was apparently his favorite.

Anyone else checked this out?

Yeah, I seen this article, but havent had time to sit down and read it yet. They mention that his son is big gamer.

Henry Hill appears on Howard Stern from time to time. He always gives a good interview.

More like a big poseur. He bashed AC for being teh kiddee.

Poseur is right.

And by that, I don't mean he's right about AC, but that it is right to call him a poseur.

I liked that part. Seemed like he had no idea of what he was doing in any of the games though, and then they just shuffled him on to another one.

Nicholas Pileggi wrote Wiseguys, not Henry Hill, though of course Hill provided the source material. Hill did, however, write The Wiseguy Cookbook: My Favorite Recipes from My Life As a Goodfella to Cooking on the Run

Yep. I went back and did so after reading your post. I don't know how I missed it before.
