Craig nearly killed Bond in a video game

Melbourne (ANI): English actor Daniel Craig tried his hand at playing the new video game version of Quantum of Solace, and almost ended up getting his alter ego killed.

Craig, who happens to be a video game fanatic, was very enthusiastic about the game, though its developer Garrett Young revealed that the James Bond star was nervous about how he would look in a video game. "But once he saw it, he was happy and much more comfortable," News.com.au quoted Young as saying.

"Then he grabbed the controller out of my hand and just started running around and playing. He is a gamer, so he picked up the controls right off the bat. "Then he started getting killed a lot, so I told him about cover. Once he started taking cover, he was really successful," he added.

The highly interactive cover system in which players morph from first to third-person mode before taking cover behind obstacles, such as walls is one of several innovations rolled out in the Quantum of Solace game.
