2K Admits PS3 Version of Mafia II Inferior to High End PC Version
EDIT: 2K Games did not say the PS3 version is inferior to the 360 version. Although, the grass rendering is obviously inferior.
2K Games has admitted on its official forums that the PlayStation 3 version of Mafia II will be inferior as compared to the Xbox 360 and PC version of the game.

Mafia II Demo is out Today and to Celebrate We Have a Giveaway!!
Did I just make a rhyme? I had planned this giveaway for my E3 part 2 post, however I am taking way to long to write that. Instead, I figured since we have the Mafia II demo out this week, I’d do this giveaway now. I played Mafia II at E3 both on a PC, and on a PS3, but only played for a few minutes each time. The gameplay reminded me a lot of GTA and the graphics were really good. I’m looking forward to today’s demo so I can spend some more time with it.
Now for the giveaway!!
Mafia II’s PS3-Exclusive DLC
Mafia II is scheduled for release on August 24, 2010. Just announced on the Official Playstation Blog, there will be a free opening day DLC pack named The Betrayal of Jimmy.
The pack will add 25 new missions and will be centered around a different character than the main storyline. New PS3 versions of the game will include a voucher for download on release day. If you buy Mafia II used, this DLC pack will be available for download from the PS Store for 9.99.
Another DLC pack’s information was leaked last month under the name Jimmy’s Vendetta. Information on this pack is scarce but it’s safe to say it’s a follow up to The Betrayal of Jimmy. Pricing is unknown for Jimmy’s Vendetta

Mafia II Interview
Posted by Luke in Interviews, Mafia II, PS3 on July 20th, 2010
Jeff Rubenstein, the Social Media Manager over at the official Playstation 3 Blog, had a chance to catch up with Jack Scalici, the Director of Creative Production, about Mafia II and get some of the gamers’ questions answered. According to him, he also received a Tommy Gun filled with Tequila, but couldn’t send me a photo as he was asked not to publish it. What kind of Mafiosos are these people? I thought the Mafia did whatever they wanted! I guess nobody’s perfect.
