Well after a very slack last month or so on the news updates I am about to bring you some of the latest happenings in the Mafia 2 universe. Most (all) of this information is available in our mafia 2 information vault, but I am going to give you the crème de la crème of the selection.

First up we have a few images that show of some of the action packed gaming we can expect, and also a shot of what looks to be the Mafia 2 version of the carcyclopedia.

Next up we have a couple of trailers from gametrailers.com, you can find the videos on their website but i am going to link you to some youtube clips of the same video, mainly because it's easier for

Part 1

Part 2

Finally today I am bringing you some information on the Mafia 2 game engine from an interview conducted by pcgameshardware.com.

"In an interview with Producer Denby Grace we learned that 2K Czech (formerly Illusion Softworks) has recreated the engine of Mafia 2 almost from scratch. The result is a D3D9 renderer - support for DX10 or DX11 has not been integrated. Mafia 2 is a pure cross platform title although the PC is said to be the lead platform. Due to the higher resolutions as well as additional GPU Physx particle effects, like dynamic, interactive smoke) the PC version will also offer better graphics than the console variant."
