Born the son of a poor immigrant, Vito is a beaten down Italian American who is trying to escape the life of poverty that consumed his childhood. It was on the streets that Vito learns that joining the Mafia is the only route to wealth and respect for people of his standing. Wanting to escape the life of hardship that his father led, he dreams about becoming a “Made Man.”
A petty criminal his whole life, Vito, along with his childhood friend, Joe, will descend into the world of organized crime. Together, they will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. Starting with low-level jobs like robbery and stealing cars, Vito and Joe escalate quickly up the Mafia family ladder…but the life as a wise guy isn’t quite as glamorous as it seems.

Let us know what you think of the weekly running comp and also the new Monthly competition.
Final Fantasy XIII is coming out next week, but you are still in hot debate with your friends on which system to buy it for? Well below you will find a graphical comparison of the two systems.
PS3
Xbox 360
You may or may not be able to notice a difference (I am the worst at seeing the slight graphical differences between different systems and TVs) but as you may (or may not) be able to tell, the Xbox 360 version is a little choppier.
But that doesn’t really matter! You’ll be too busy playing the game and loving it to notice such a small graphic difference.
For those of you who have been reading about the Portal 2 hints that were put into the original Portal, the conspiracy of Portal 2 coming out is no longer a conspiracy! Portal 2 is official and currently has a release frame of this holiday season.
What makes Portal 2 different from portal? It will include a separate 2 player co-op campaign and it is being released at full retail price.
The official announcement:
“Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.
Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007’s Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards” [via STEAM]
