From the PlanetXbox360.com feature preview:
"The mobster lifestyle is easily one of the most overused themes for video games this generation, especially when it comes to open-world titles. That being said if a developer takes the lifestyle of a mafiaso and does something original with it the game can end up being quite enjoyable. The Grand Theft Auto series is probably the most well-known video game franchise that centers around the activities of a criminal empire, but around the same time a game by the name of Mafia was released on the PC. It made a relatively large impact in the industry at the time but was relatively ignored by mainstream gaming press. Building on that audience 2K Games is bringing a sequel to the Xbox 360 late next month, titled Mafia II; and I had the chance to spend a couple hours with the near-final build during a recent press event in San Francisco."
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
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 actually liked it more than Grand Theft Auto IV....
i loved the first game.
i always liked mafia movies like Goodfellas(BEST MOVIE EVER), casino, scarface, the departed, road to perdition, the god father etc...
i can't wait for this game!!!
Pumped up for this game! hopefully it delivers
MAFIA is one of my all time favorite games so naturally MAFIA 2 is my most anticipated game of 2010. I have no doubts that the story in MAFIA 2 is gonna be remarkable... I'm just worried about the protagonist. I hope he's likable like Tommy was in the original.
