Quantcast



"By fusing high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia 2 looks to be the industry's most compelling Mafia title to date."

That's from the press release 2K Games sent out earlier today, regarding the announcement of Mafia 2, their upcoming Games for Windows and next-gen, uh, Mafia title. The sequel to the solid PC title turned underwhelming console hit, Mafia 2 will once again engage players in those 1950s gangster scenarios we all dream about. 

"The 'wow' factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies," said Christoph Hartman, President of 2K, who has apparently not played a single videogame in the past -- oh, I don't know -- six years.

When will we get sequels to games people want.

Like when LucasArts gets their head out of their asses and makes a new Gladius and Adventure games, among other things.

But this is 2K. Hmmmmmm, I see no reason for this sequel. They should spend their time on something new, not this.

I agree that Lucasarts should make a Gladius sequel, but I really am glad there's a Mafia 2 coming out. I really enjoyed the first game and this will be a def. buy for me.

More high speed chases at 45 mph? AWESOME. Actually the first one was pretty decent from what I played.

trust me, you can go much faster than 45, hehe :)

but yeah the first one was solid, it was all about the story, and had an awesome cast of characters...
