Mafia II demo now available
Do you fancy giving Mafia II a try before the fulll game is released later this month? Of course you do, and now you can via the playable demo that has been released today. Here's the low-down on how to get hold of it.
Windsor, UK – August 10, 2010 – 2K Games announced today the availability of a downloadable demo for Mafia® II, the action-driven epic crime saga for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. The demo is available for free to download from PlayStation®Network, Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and via Steam and select internet portals for Windows PC. Set in Empire Bay, a fully realized and immersive 1940’s and 1950’s American urban cityscape, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to experience the title’s intense shooting, white-knuckle car-chases, compelling characters, engaging narrative and decadent and meticulously crafted atmosphere. Mafia II will be released on August 24 in North America, August 26 in Australia and August 27 internationally.
While the game spans two eras, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the “Buzzsaw†level, which takes place during the summer of the ‘50s – a time considered the “Birth of Coolâ€, and with it, rock ‘n’ roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. In the demo, Vito Scaletta and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as “The Fat Manâ€. This mission showcases vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, era-evoking cars, memorable characters and a snapshot of the expansive city of Empire Bay in this colorful era.
Mafia II centres around Vito Scaletta, who has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay. He’s someone who can be trusted to get the job done. Together with his buddy Joe, he is working to prove himself to the Mafia, a move which escalates to crimes that generate bigger rewards, bigger status, and bigger consequences.

GeForce GTX 460 1GB SLI vs. Radeon HD 5870 CrossFire
This sounds like it should be one of the most unfair comparisons in the history of graphics board reviewing - Surely two GeForce GTX 460s couldn't trump a Radeon HD 5870 CrossFire setup? Well, you might be surprised, although unfortunately only three games are tested here...
Last week we compared GeForce GTX 460 1GB SLI to Radeon HD 5850 CFX and found that GeForce GTX 460 1GB SLI was tremendously faster. Given that fact, we needed to test Radeon HD 5870 CFX and see how that compared, given that this is AMD’s highest level of dual-GPU gaming performance available right now.
On a price comparison, Radeon HD 5870 CFX is much more expensive than GeForce GTX 460 1GB SLI. There is a whopping $300 difference between the Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 Super OC 1GB SLI and a pair of Radeon HD 5870 video cards. This performance testing will show you that it just might be possible to save $300 and get an awesome gameplay performance experience.
