It has just been confirmed that Mafia 2 is in development. For those of you that sadly missed out on the first game, Mafia is a action game from a 3rd person view that lets you play the role of a 20's/30/s style gangster. It is quite simply the best Mafia inspired game ever.
Thankfully, the same developer. Though some may notice the developer is now listed as 2k Czech rather than Illusion Softworks, fear not, as take two acquired illusion a couple years back and changed the name. I assume this is because they kept forgetting where the company is located, as 2k Czech is a stupid name.
Anyway, here is their website:

Children of the Nile
In other news, Tilted Mill just released a demo for Children of the Nile, enhanced edition. For those of you that haven't played it, which is most of you, Children of The Nile is a real time civilization builder based in ancient Egypt. Released in November of 2004, it uses the Empire Earth engine quite well and in my opinion creating one of the best looking civ games to date. Some of the features are:
- Individual AI, based on human nature, creating a real connection to life-like people
- Immersive 3d engine
- The (Nile) river is modeled in three dimensions to represent annual inundation and retreat of flood waters
What really impressed me was Tilted Mill purchasing the license back from the publisher, balancing and adding in bug fixes, then releasing the enhanced edition patch for free to people that owned the game. Definitely worth 19.99 through steam
