Destructoid HQ gets plenty of weird, cool and sometimes stupid pieces of swag to promote whatever game that needs promoting. The latest package to be thrown at our door (Goddamn FedEx guy ... ) came from 2K Games and this is certainly one of the cooler pieces of promo items we've received since opening up shop in San Francisco.
As you can see in the video above and by the pictures in the gallery, we got a 1950s themed briefcase filled with all sorts of documents and pictures. Everything within the case is from an F.B.I. agent named Frankie who's deep undercover with the mob in Empire Bay, the fictional city that Mafia II takes place in. There's all sorts of info that you can explore for yourselves through the official Mafia II website.
You've just been viral marketed.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

I saw him in the NBC video with him showing off a piece sign and holding a iPhone 4.
Cool PR package, though. If the first game weren't such a dull cookie-cutter mafia story I might even be excited.
