I recently had the pleasure of chatting to Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express) during the Sydney leg of his promotional tour for the upcoming animated film, Monsters vs Aliens. Besides lending his voice to one of the main characters in the film, Rogen also voiced characters in the video game and, as it turns out, he's an avid gamer himself.

Rogen says he plays games all the time as a way to shut off his brain from the outside world and also, not surprisingly, 'because they're just damn fun'.

Among his favourites: Street Fighter IV, Call of Duty: World at War, and Spielberg's Boom Blox (which he often gets beaten at by his girlfriend).

Rogen also talked about penning screenplays with the Judd Apatow crew, his recent Vanity Fair shoot, improvising in front of the camera and writing and starring in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons.

Yeah!
