This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game The Godfather: Blackhand Edition by AMN

EA has returned to The Godfather and added in a control scheme that nobody should refuse. Being able to physically perform punching, throwing, and choking motions adds a layer of realism seldom seen in games of this genre. Moreover, being able to pull off such moves is surprisingly (and perversely) satisfying. Missions are varied enough to keep the experience from growing stale and being able to unlock new abilities by spending Skill Points keeps the action growing in intensity as the game progresses. Throw in the appearances and voices of the actors from the original film and one has gaming gold. The Godfather: Blackhand Edition is highly recommended to fans of the Grand Theft Auto genre and action/stealth fans alike. Don’t miss this one. It’d be a shame if your Wii missed out on this disc, if you know what I mean.

Until then, The Godfather: Blackhand Edition which ships March 20.

SPOnG has heard a bizarre rumour of late that Rockstar may be looking to bring the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto series – presumably entitled GTA 5 – to Nintendo’s family friendly Wii console.
SPOnG put it to a Rockstar rep the other day that we’d heard GTA 5 might be Wii-bound and they responded with what we can only describe as a stifled giggle. Read into that what you will.
