Mafia 2

Mafia 2 features a young Italian man living in the United States in the 1940s, through till the 1950s. The game itself is an open world third person shooter. The setting is very true to the culture of the 40s, and 50s, with older cars, clothes, music and of course crime.


Although most sequel games never quite live up to their predecessor, this game is surely an exception. While featuring an intense storyline, with twists and curves at every turn, the game also gives a lot of freedom. During the game you have the option to, of course beat up the local paper salesman just for being there, blow up gas stations, steal nice or ugly cars, rank up a huge amount of policemen drive your car off the many improvised ramps and many more.


I highly recommend this game to anyone who has a longing for those golden years, or to anyone who enjoys open world games.

Intro

Hi everyone, smightnight here. I just thought I would do a brief introduction of myself to the blog. I enjoy gaming, that's why I'm here, although I'm not a "hard core" gamer, I still find myself playing many of the games that everyone loves. I enjoy not only newer games, but older ones as well. My personal favorite of all time is Pac-Man. So, I will be posting game reviews, guides, strategies, and whatever else finds its way into my thoughts. I'm mostly on Halo Reach, but I'm also playing Pokemon Crystal version on my Gameboy SP, and Mafia 2, so those are the games I will be mostly posting about throughout the week. If you have any questions, concerns or advice please feel free to email me at rdsmightnight@gmail.com.

I see my friend has come up with his own motto I guess I will too
