Smelling Like A Rose


...to your Xbox 360 and PSP today.

In the Xbox 360, the ruling "party" never stops. Ever wanted to rule the streets of New York, but don't have enough manpower, guns, and guts to do so? Well, with The Godfather you can do that and more. In this game you'll be joining the family and carry out various tasks to earn respect and eventually rise through the ranks of the Corleon Family. The ultimate objective though is more than just being the Don of the Family, but rather to be 'Don of New York'. In order to do that you'll have to accomplish more missions, do some venue take overs, contract hits on the big heads of the other Families, and earn the respect of everyone involved.

Mobs and the PSP do mix! The Godfather Mob Wars for the PSP also comes to videstores today. In this game, players are expected to hone their mob skills and rise to be the Don of the Family. Expect to fight in turf wars to take over enemy territory. Take NYC apart piece by piece and then place it back together, The Godfather style.

Essentially, the most impressive statement in this game is the voice acting. Great Actors such as James Caan, Robert Duvall, Abe Vigoda, and the late great Marlon Brando lends their voices to the game. It was said that this was one of the final jobs Marlon Brando took before he died. However, noticeably absent was Al Pacino. Yet the game was able to stand on its own merits.

Two Godfather games out on the same date; Don Corleon would've been proud. Well, are you ready to take over New York?

ScarfaceLooks like yet another movie/TV adaption has been canned on the Xbox 360 after yesterday's Sopranos. Now it's poor Al Pacino who has received a kick out of the promising next-gen future. Vivendi Games today confirmed that Scarface: The World Is Yours will not be released on the Xbox 360. "Cancelled" is maybe not the right word for this anyway, as a Xbox 360 was never clearly confirmed, but strongly rumored.

But, there's also good news since Scarface is now headed for the Playstation Portable. Presumably more than a stripped-down home console port, the PSP version will get a different name, Scarface: Power. Money. Respect. and will combine turn-based strategy with real-time combat. Players will be able to capture turfs (Hi there, San Andreas) and eliminate rival gangs and crime bosses in the single-player mode. A multiplayer mode is in the works too, allowing four players to take over the streets of Miami simultaneously.

We'll keep you updated on new info on Power. Money. Respect. as we get it. The World Is Yours, the original game, is now set for release on PS2, Xbox and PC in October.
