Olympic judo medal winner, MMA champion and now a pro WWE wrestler, Rhonda Rousey often looks like she'd be happier crushing a joypad than using it to play games. Don't be fooled - Rousey is a massive World of Warcraft fan, and once spent $1300 on WoW cards in the hope of getting a rare mount. Not only that, she and her husband, fellow UFC fighter Travis Browne, dressed up as Death Knights for the BlizzCon convention in 2017 and proudly shared their cosplay snaps on Instagram.

The James Bond movies are notorious for their product placement, but despite showcasing everything from luxury cars to expensive wristwatches, we've never seen 007 sit down for a mammoth Grand Theft Auto session but that probably would suit star Daniel Craig perfectly, as he's gone on the record as being a fan of the series - and games in general. In fact, when he took the part of Bond, he originally didn't want to do any tie-in games, because he knew previous efforts had been so bad!

Dan has been playing games since the 1980s, and doesn't plan on stopping any time soon. Also, get off his lawn. You can contact him by email if you need to know exactly how to leave his lawn.
