OXM UK writes: "The first Godfather game took one for the team. It took the full force of that head-in-hands, knee-jerk reaction from anyone old enough to have seen Coppola's movies.
And with all those knees, heads and hands jerking around, it was easy to forget that the first game suffered mainly from a lack of inspiration, rather than being actively rubbish.
It laboured under that classic sub-GTA syndrome, adding only an intimidation process that used the thumbsticks to swing people around their shops. Even with Luca Brasi getting wasted in the opening scenes, it just wasn't memorable..."
On the eve of Mafia III, it's a good time to recall this diamond in the rough. Yes, seriously. It was great.
Kotaku: "When an industry is made-up of almost equal parts society-changing brilliance and playboy man-child syndrome, it's bound to generate some exceptionally stupid ideas."
That's not racism in the Netherlands. As a matter of fact, the black and white thing is a product of good old American stupidity, save for a few parts of Africa....
The LBP thing wasn't funny. It was actually pretty stupid. You know what? Most of this list was not funny.
How about that time EA staged a boycott of Dante's Inferno and got caught?
Or that whole Wii Music thing a few E3s ago.
Or, you know...something that's actually funny?
Anyway...the whole thing was 3 Sony screw ups and 2 EA. I'd hardly call that the video game industry...
Another well written and smart article trying anything to get some hit. I can think of many other thing that are actually funny like the Riiiiiiiidge racer one or even the Ms e3 puncho and their presentation of skittle ( shudder ) .
wow, who knew events like that happened O_O that event with the bloody dead goat was the craziest of em all.
The Godfather II is a film classic, but does the game of the same name live up to its namesake? The Godfather II, published by EA in 2009 is an open world third person crime action shooter with a mix of strategy elements.
