These are the closing credits of Bethesda’s Rogue Warrior. And while he’s not technically rapping – they’re soundbytes from the game arranged almost perfectly – the effect is the same: it’s amazing. Completely, and utterly, amazing.
These days loads of big Hollywood actors are appearing in video games. It’s become normal. Heck, even Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke is doing game voice work.
Mickey Rourke will be in Bethesda’s upcoming Rogue Warrior. Luckily, for people like me that have nightmares about his misshapen plastic face, he’ll only be providing his voice.

The first games to be published by the new office are the eagerly anticipated Fallout 3 and Rogue Warrior, which we haven’t heard any new on in quite some time. Nice to know it still exists.
