Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps says he's been playing over 30 hours a week of Call of Duty. Speaking in an interview with The Post Game, Phelps says people don't know it's him when he plays online.

"Yeah, people don't know it's mine," he says. "I just get crushed. I always find myself getting heated, trash talking. And you know it's a 10-year-old kid on the other line that just demolished me. It's so frustrating. But it is fun, and I'm very competitive in everything I do." Phelps also said he only plays Xbox.

His Kinect swimming game released last year, Michael Phelps: Push the Limit, has an average review score of 48.

not really surprised that he plays CoD, or that his game tanked.

30 hours of Call of Duty? Branch out dude. I love Call of Duty too but you gotta other play games.
by quasiconundrum Friday, July 27, 2012 at 02:42 PM

Well, the guy swims for a living. I have to imagine he has a good amount of free time.
by ChaosTheoryV2X Friday, July 27, 2012 at 02:44 PM

CoD is for noobs, Play Bf3 Mikey, its for men.

by Mitch Friday, July 27, 2012 at 03:01 PM

Loss some respect for Phelps just now. 1. For playing CoD 2. From playing only xbox
