GP: So I have to ask, are you a gamer?
Zach Snyder: I am a gamer! Right now I'm playing Gears of War, which I like a lot. I play it with my son, which is bad parenting I know.
GP: I think its great parenting. Did you have any input on 300: March to Glory?
Zach Snyder: It's funny, when the guys brought me the PSP game, I was like, cool! They weren't used to a director being interested in the game. It's a great game. I collaborated with them a lot with the look of the game, the feel of it.

Scenarios in the game would have to have the same type of cultural commentary that the movie will have.
