Organised crime sim Omerta - City of Gangsters is giving you the chance to be the Don of Atlantic City, complete with your own crew of gangsters and on-the-nose nicknames. I like the look of this character creator, specifically the option to create a backstory for your mob boss. Here's hoping for an option to be the poor kid who turned to a life of crime but also has a heart of gold -- oh, and who looks just like Steve Buscemi. No one's really tried the whole "organised crime sim" genre in years, not since Gangsters: Organized Crime. Hopefully the mix of turn-based combat and management sim will work well together and you can run Atlantic City like your own personal kingdom of crime. Tommy guns and speakeasies for all!
