Mafia II (PS3)
The sequel to the best-selling game Mafia again takes place in a time when gangsters were cool, liquor was something you could smuggle and everybody wore cool hats.

The best RTS of the last few years gets another stand alone expansion. It's great like the other releases, though a little on the slim side for its price.

Red Dead Redemption (PS3)

This sequel to PS2's excellent Wild West outing looks like being a superb open-world experience in the beautiful expanses of the western frontier.

A great (if repetitive) car-crime game that immerses you in the movie's 1940s gangster drama.
Half-Life 2: Episode Two (PC)
Continues the Half-Life 2 legend with a whole chapter of brand new content. Can't wait? Neither can we.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PS3)
