Only game iam waiting for is for mafia 2 nothing else intrest me well only Metal gear solid peace walkers but ill get that soon
nice. waiting to see what mafia 2 and spec ops the line has too offer. not into rts games, so civ 5 not for me, and not too familiar with x-com series.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Originally released back in 2010 for last-gen (PS3, Xbox 360) consoles, 2K Games has re-released Mafia 2 as part of the Mafia Trilogy, and has called it the “Definitive Edition.” Now, the question is, does this mafia go for the kill, or does it run out of bullets? Read on for our Mafia 2 Definitive Edition review.
I for one really am looking forward to this game. The first really was great on the PC. It may not have been that good on the PS2 and Xbox. But this time I hope it will be also good on the consoles too.
Trust me this game is going to be good.
This one looks more promising.
Gameplay: GTA IV
Graphics: Mafia 2
get your result and get your ass hit, that's it
I actually played the original on the Ps2 and it was a great game. Specially the bit with the hooker and the hotel and the escape afterwards. I was up till 4 in the morning trying to beat that part before school in the morn. Can't wait for this to finally come out, i'm a little skeptical about taking odd jobs for competing families but i have faith that 2k won't mess this game up.
