Celebrities are people just like you and me, so the fact that they play video games shouldn't be very shocking. We've already heard quite a few stars talk about one of their favorite pastimes, and reveal whether they were actually any good, or that they even resorted to cheating, like Metallica's Lars Ulrich.

Now, famous actor and director Seth Rogen shares his own passion for video games with GameHunters from USA Today. He goes on to reveal that he got into them when he was four years old, thanks to Pong, and since then has really focused on first-person shooters.

Among the newest titles to appear, he enjoys Fallout 3 or Street Fighter IV, but the franchise closest to his gamer heart is Activision's Call of Duty, which he has completed several times. He goes on to say that he recently finished the single-player campaign of the most recent iteration, World at War, but when he went online in multiplayer matches, it turned out that he wasn't all that good.

“I love the Call of Duty games, all of them. I just finished (World At War). I love those games. I get scared easily while playing games because I play them by myself at night after my girlfriend goes to sleep. What I like about Call of Duty is you are killing Nazis. You feel like you are doing a good deed for the world. I am one of those guys who thought he was pretty good at first-person shooters and I went on line and got decimated.”

It's certainly nice to hear that not even famous people are extremely good at video games, and now, some Call of Duty players can take pride that they have beaten Seth Rogen at the game online. Hopefully more and more celebrities will get into video games and showcase their positive sides to the rest of the world.
