I must be weird, but I rather liked Godfather: Blackhand edition on the Wii. It had issues but it was fun…

So this is going to be ‘Organised Crime – Total War’ then?

I’m playing through the first one right now, with my room mate. The targeting seems fairly broken, and it’s repetitive as hell, but we have fun passing the controller back and forth between missions/deaths. I’d call it mediocre, rather than horrible.

I played the original game for the ps2, and actually quite enjoyed it. Sure it wasn’t brilliant, but it was fun for what it had, and implemented a couple of things- checkpoints (I’m looking at YOU gta), and gang takeovers which were pretty awesome (although gang takeovers got a bit tired after a while, especially as you had to be a one man killing machine….)

To be fair, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than the Godfather 3, even if you evaluate it as a film.

First one was rather disappointing, keeping my eyes on Mafia 2 for my gangster needs.

As much as I like the whole Italian Mafia in the US thing, starting from the whole talking with your hands like some kind of anti-kangaroo thing to every memorable quote from every memorable movie Hollywood has ever done about them (and they are the very best they ever came up with) and the fact that they built Las Vegas, there are still some fresh settings out there. Irish Mafia or Jewish Mafia if we’re talking about America in the 30 or so. A game about the Triads would be really cool, and the Vory V Zakone could also get some treatment.

The original Godfather was a bit like the Matrix game in that it got panned by many discerning gamers but wasn’t all that bad if you sat down and played it in a positive frame of mind. I mean, obviously it was flawed but it wasn’t that bad. It was a decent enough game. Really, it was.

Speaking of the “new” EA, anybody noticed recent that the old EA and Ubisoft seem to have swapped places?

EA are now letting their guys do the creative stuff, and make good games, while Ubisoft now have all the PR and games that could be good, but tends to fall short?

Plus, Ubisoft now hate Europe apparently, but they’re French. Very confusing.

Also, I hate the Venusian Coke-dealers too…

For some reason, I read “Venusian Cock-dealers”. For some other reason, I couldn’t stop laughing. But then I noticed it was actually Coke and then I thought how much fun a game with Venusian Cock-dealers would be over the prospect of another GodAwfulGodfather game.

And then the men in white lab coats came and took me away.

The Borderlands and Stalker banner-things on the front page blend into each other. This amuses me. :)
