In Stores This Week Around The World

Richard Walker

There's another big title coming this week to tide you over until the autumn explosion of games arrives in just a few short weeks, following last week's release of Kane & Lynch 2. This week Mafia II gets out on parole for good behaviour, returning to a life of organised crime, sharp suits and fast cars.

Featuring a crime saga centred around the life of Vito Scaletta who chooses to rise through the ranks of the mob after returning from a tour in WWII, Mafia II hopes to be The Godfather of games, and it's got the Tommy guns and the chops to deliver on that promise.

Sadly, that's your lot this week though, except for Japan getting Kane & Lynch 2 a week late and Major League Baseball 2K10 seemingly slips two weeks having been on the release schedule once before.

  • As usual, August is filled with upcoming games
  • mafia!!!!get me a delorian so i can go forward to release day!
  • cant wait
  • After playing the Mafia Demo, I have to say that I am rather dissapointed. So much so that I cancelled my pre-order :(
  • Finally, a decent game :D Last one was Toy Story IIRC.
  • @4 You do realise that the version of the demo we got wasn't the final build version that Xbox 360 got right? The game is far pettier and no doubt more awesome than the demo (which i enjoyed thoroughly) So all I can say is, your loss for canceling preorder.
  • I agree with #4, the demo was really disappointing, I will wait for some reviews before buying it.
  • Nothing good on there except the record of agarest prequel
  • Screw stores this week. I'm gonna get Shank tomorrow and Castle Crasher on the 31st =D
  • @4 I agree also, Mafia was a definite buy for me, but I just hated the demo @7 Dunno if you have FirstPlay but they gave it a 7/10, they didn't sound too impressed to be honest
  • Mafia II's just a rent for me I think, the demo was a little on the short side.
  • Just got to wait 2 more weeks till the huge game wave starts. :) But might pick up Mafia 2 though
  • 2 more weeks? Nice, cant wait. Tired of these 1 game release weeks.
  • every ps3 owner should refuse to buy this , they havent even tryed to use the ps3 power all we get is a scaled down version compered to xbox , they get blood we dont , and there loads of other stuff the xbox version gets and ps3 dont , 2k games sucks , sony should of refused the relese.
  • I played the released and to me it is definitely a rent versus buy. @14 I agree my buddy got the demo for XBOX 360 and I got to say that I fell screwed out of a good demo. It may have changed my mind but this is definitely an ignore from me. I may reconsider if I read any good reviews but the ones I keep reading say it is going to be so-so.
