Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven (2002 Video Game)
A true interactive movie.
20 July 2004
This got to be one of the best games i've played in several years. It is made up of mafia movies clichés, but these seem to work splendid.

The story is truly magnificent, and i had problems putting this game down at night.. it makes you want to stay up forever and ever, until you have completed it.

The game features a nice 3d world that looks very 30's'ish, and cars with physics, that according to the developers, surpasses Gran Turissimo. All weapons and dialogue are realistic to the ones used at the time.

The level of difficulty is also wonderfully balanced, ensuring that it never gets tedious.. Missions vary from mob hits, robbing banks, stealing cars to walking your girlfriend home and so on; all blended into the great story.

Synopsis; The taxi driver Thomas Angelo gets mixed up in a car chase between the Morello gang and the Salieri gang, and after helping the Salieri's out, he is offered work for them. As the days go by, Tommy is soon their prime hit-man, together with Sam and Paulie (who is a clear Joe Pesci parody). But mobster life can be treacherous..

I'll give this 9/10, no doubt.

Hotel Cæsar (1998–2017)
i do not agree
23 October 2001
I do not agree with the previous "red alert - avoid at all cost" review. for a soap, it's not bad at all.. i mean, there are scores of australian soaps and boring hi-school soaps out there.. but Hotel Cæsar has something special to it.. Murder, sex, intrigues (both sexually and economical), corruption, beautiful girls.. you name it. I didn't like it at first, but i started to watch it a little while i was eating dinner.. and now, i'm an addict! Mind you, i'm not the type of guy that watches soaps, but i really like this one. The actors ain't that bad either, with a couple of exceptions of course. My personal favorite is Arne - a nymphomaniac preacher with just as much love for God as for cash and women.

A very good soap, in my humble opinion.
