Mafia II

I think Halo has established a fairly successful franchise on the sole basis of those 3.

Anyone play through it yet?

Solid game. Great graphics. I'm not big on sandbox games and I think if anyone thinks this will be a good sandbox they'll be disappointed. It has a great story, even though I didn't like the ending, and the game is focused more on that unlike GTA. The cops are a bit much - they'll pull you for speeding and hit and runs and such - but they're pretty easy to get away from. The boxing part of it is kind of lackluster. The combat is pretty good but a little off. It seems like it's either too easy or you're overwhelmed with 3 guys suicide charging you and someone else chucking molotovs(but that's only in a few parts). It can be frustrating plowing through 50 guys and almost get to a save point when someone gets a lucky shot and kills you.

Overall good game. A 7 out of 10 I'd say.
