A couple of days ago 2K released two web videos called “The Art of Persuasion� and “Tools Of The Trade� for our viewing pleasure as it gets closer for Mafia II to drop this upcoming Tuesday August 24, 2010. You can certainly learn how to persuade someone if you are watching "The Art of Persuasion." Especially with a baseball bat. How about making yourself useful in "Tools Of The Trade." Just remember the bigger the job, the bigger the guns. Then 2K released their third web video called “Ties That Binds� for those looking for a little more family value in your life. Now, this morning the final video of the series has been released titled "Earning your Keep" to remind us all that working hard is the key to everyday life, unless you are part of the Mafia II family. If you're on the fence with Mafia II, then hopefully these videos will help you figure out if you will be or will not be picking this game up. Mafia II will be released in the U.S on August 24, 2010 and for everyone else on August 27, 2010 for the PlayStation 3, XBox 360 and the PC.

My Take:

The more I see videos for Mafia II, the more I get excited about playing it. Ever since playing the demo at PAX East I have been excited to play this game. I generally do not like sandbox games, but Mafia II for some reason has made me all excited to play. I cannot wait!
