Ricky Gervais Goes Nanners On Gamezors

- John Gaudiosi, who nabs a lot of neat interviews on the film/game crossover, has been talking to Ricky Gervais about his Scarface game voiceover over at Wired News, and Gervais is typically witty and scathing - which is nice.

Firstly, Gervais explores his clear game skills: "I've spent five minutes bumping into a wall with Gran Turismo. This is what a baby I am. I still have the same exploratory skills of a toddler. So I'm driving around, and if I'm not winning, I go, "I wonder if I can mow those people down. I wonder if you can go behind that mountain?" And of course you can't."

Secondly, he explains exactly what he brought to the Scarface game: "There are only so many ways you can say, "Put the fucking gun down!" It was funny and we played with it a little bit. I think I did a good job. I mean I stick out like a sore thumb. There are all of these core people, and then a little fat bloke with an English accent will pop up. And they go, "Where'd he come from, what's he doing there?""
