A Godfather II Casino space has opened and Sony Home is working with EA on the upcoming Sports Complex. There are more game-related costumes and action figure dolls have arrived. Also, to help make things interesting, the puzzles in Xi:The Hub are getting even more challenging.

EA Games is working on a Godfather II videogame. Apparently the first Godfather game was really that successful. The sequel, Godfather II, will be released on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in February, 2009. The official unveiling of the game will be August 15, 2008 on Spike TV during a GameTrailers TV show dedicated to the game. The official first trailer will also appear on the official website on August 18, 2008, in case you don’t get cable. The site isn’t open yet, so try visiting in a few days (as of 12:28pm CST, August 8, 2008).

Like the first game, Godfather II will be based on the movie The Godfather: Part II and have a sandbox approach where you take part in and run a mob during the 1960′s. The scope is larger in Godfather II though, as your empire extends outside of New York to Cuba and Florida. The BlackHand control scheme will remain, but the ability to build a family of Made Men, manage all of your empire at once in a strategic overview of the game referred to as “The Don’s View” and the ability to take part in battles or actions with men who have specialized criminal skills.
