MTV News' brand new website redesign is, in a word, obnoxious, but that doesn't stop us linking to Stephen Totilo when he's interviewing freakin' Phil Collins about video games - specifically his cameo in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Awesome.

Specifically, Collins' "...taste in games tends toward more gentle fare. "I'm really soft-core," he said, rattling off kid-friendly PlayStation staples "Crash Bandicoot" and "Spyro the Dragon" as favorites. He indulged mostly in the '90s: "It was like, 9 or 10 in the morning till 6 or 7 o'clock at night. Constant playing until I got everything. I was obsessed."" Note to self: Collins is hardcore.

As for his appearance in the game (WARNING: VAGUE SPOILERS!): "Collins holds a concert in the faux-Miami Vice City and drums through his famous song "In the Air Tonight." Assassins lurk. And Vic Vance has to save the day." Then you have to rescue his wigmaker from being headhunted by Elton John, we heard.
