Join the family, crush your enemies and live La Cosa Nostra

Sep 19, 2006

If you ever need proof that video games are a powerful educational tool, look no further than The Godfather. After a week with this Grand Theft Auto-like gangster simulator, you'll know more about the movie than most film students. You'll know the name of the guy who gets shot in the "leave the gun, take the cannoli" scene. You'll know the order in which Michael Corleone's enemies get whacked during the climactic revenge montage. You'll know this, because you'll have done it all ...

Jul 28, 2006

While it's ostensibly a crime movie, The Godfather seems a weird choice for a video-game adaptation.

Opening in 1945, the Godfather game follows the plot of the ... » Read Full The Godfather preview

Casting players as a random wiseguy in the Corleone crime family, it combines free-form, Grand Theft Auto-style gameplay with a plot that follows the epic Mafia film from behind the scenes. We've spent some hard time with this gangland simulation, and we can say that the driving feels great, the violence is intense, the story is riveting and ... » Read Full The Godfather preview

rand Theft Auto gets mobbed? Now you're just being Sicily...

Feb 15, 2006

So you're aiming for a promotion. Normally that would mean working hard and meeting the objectives as agreed in your annual performance review. Unsurprisingly, in The Godfather your objectives are more about smashing people's heads against gravestones and taking a baseball bat to a butcher than developing your interpersonal skills. We've been climbing the Cosa Nostra career ladder in a playable version of The Godfather, and reassuring ourselves that 'it's only business'. Because this ... » Read Full The Godfather preview
