Via CVG: The first details of EA's Godfather II have emerged, in the latest issue of Xbox World 360 magazine which hits news stands today.
gamrReview's Xavier Griffiths: "Movie tie-in games have a reputation for being notoriously bad and shoddy, doing both a disservice to the original film and videogames as a medium. More often than not the movies that get adapted into videogames are high octane, action-oriented summer blockbusters and the aim is simply to extract as much money from the market as possible. Realistically no one expects games based on trashy films such as Catwoman, The Cat in the Hat, or Eragon to be good in the first place, but what about games based on films that have garnered recognition for the highest award in cinema?"
Gaming Update's CM Boots-Faubert takes a look at the newest list of online game servers that game giant Electronic Arts is shutting down, with a focus upon the online Achievements and Trophies that gamers will need to work on if they want to unlock them before the April 13th shutdown.
What the heck is wrong with EA. Some of those games aren't even two years old. Hardly even a year and a half some of them.
And they only JUST put that simpsons game on psn and xbl, and they're pulling the plug already?
Yeah I'm glad I got that as a PS plus game because I'd be pissed if I bought that
I think you may have got the wrong simpsons game, the one spoken about in the article is this one

Ok now I'm not too upset lol. Plus the one I meant isn't even made by EA lol
Thanks
EA need to change their business tactics, it's obvious they are bleeding money even with all the sports franchises they hold.

Today, being the fourth day of Christmas, is the turn of April 2009.
I never played the first, but given the quality crop of titles coming out of EA at the moment (Bad Company, Burnout, Spore, Dragon Age, Mirrors Edge and Dead Space), I'm willing to give this a look.
The integration of RTS and RPG into a sandbox is very intriguing.
i finished the first one on the Xbox, then also on the Xbox360 and finally on the PSP :) and i found it better than Mafia, so i will definitely grab the second one too.
@Superfragilistic The first title was a joke, with broken controls and abysmal graphics. Like you said though, there's plenty of quality games coming from EA at the moment, so I won't let my awful experience with the first game completely write this off.
on the 360 and quite enjoyed it.
Being a fan of the Godfather probably didn't hurt but I think the game did a fantastic job of filling in the gaps of the movie.
As an example, one of the missions is you have to race across town to put the gun in the bathroom stall because Micheal's meeting location was changed.
Another was dealing with you and the horse head.
Great game, looking forward to the second.
this sounds really cool, i hope we will be able to go to all three cities, and i can see some awesome online play coming out of this
