On the eve of Mafia III, it's a good time to recall this diamond in the rough. Yes, seriously. It was great.
gamrReview's Xavier Griffiths: "Movie tie-in games have a reputation for being notoriously bad and shoddy, doing both a disservice to the original film and videogames as a medium. More often than not the movies that get adapted into videogames are high octane, action-oriented summer blockbusters and the aim is simply to extract as much money from the market as possible. Realistically no one expects games based on trashy films such as Catwoman, The Cat in the Hat, or Eragon to be good in the first place, but what about games based on films that have garnered recognition for the highest award in cinema?"
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.
Hopefully they polish up the grahpics a bit, the only thing about the game that looked a bit weak, even for an open world game.
This game looks bollocks. Shame, the first one was great on PS2.
It was delayed, so that it wouldn't get squashed by other titles hitting in February, like Killzone 2. They want to release it in April, because it is not one single good title that is going to get released in April. I still think The Godfather 2 will suck.
The game's features and premise look very promising, I'm just not too thrilled about the gfx.
Hopefully they put the extra time to some good use.
