The quality is crap because I know nothing about compressing video (or shooting it, for that matter), but hopefully you can make out what's going on.

For those of you too lazy to click, The Godfather: Blackhand Edition (aka Godfather Wii) has implemented a bunch of gestures that work surprisingly well in the game, including throws, headbutts, and bitchslaps. 

I was gonna do a video detailing all of them, but the developers did that a few months back. Still, though, I couldn't resist showing you the coolest gesture in the game: the "Is Wayne Brady Gonna Have to Choke a Bitch" stranglehold. The manuever easier to do in real life than it looks in the video (I was crouched over the camera at a weird angle), and it's insanely satisfying to do. 

If you haven't played The Godfather and you have a Wii, buy Blackhand Edition. Now. If you already have played The Godfather, it's at least worth a rental to see just how well the gestures are implemented. Frankly, Blackhand is my new favorite game for the Wii.
