WhileMafia IImight be landing in a bit over a month, that doesn’t mean they don’t want to show it off at E3, and so they have. Above you can check out a solid chunk ofMafia IIgameplay. It’s looking pretty good as far as I am concerned, but I wish they had had a different mission playable on the floor. We saw this one at last year’s E3. Anything standing out to you now that you get to see just some random person play through a bit of the game?...

House of the Dead: Overkillis heading to the PlayStation 3 with full Move, 3D support and Sharp Shooter rifle shell support. The once Wii exclusive is getting majorly overhauled and will feature about 60 percent more content. There will be new enemies, new levels, new weapons, more unlockables, more audio tracks and more more more! There’s even a mini-game during cutscenes where you can shoot at censored words so the censor bar gets knocked off....

It’s no secret that I love thePaper Marioseries. And it’s no secret that when the 3DS was announced at last year’s E3, the game I wanted the most on it was the newPaper Mario. Sadly, a year later, still no word on when the next iteration of the stylized RPG series will be released. And with no showing at this year’s E3 either (oh, how you torture me, Nintendo!), this brand new trailer and handful of screens will have to do....

After my old (but purchased brand new and sealed) Xbox 360 was banned from Xbox Live for no given reason, I’ve been terrified to do anything with it. This is why I’ve not created an American Live account to circumvent the Europeans getting screwed right the hell over on game demos, and why I am currently too timid to access theEternal Sonatademo that should be available for everybody elseright now. Isn’t it funny how so far it’s only the games from Japan that have trouble reaching Europe?...

Big fan ofHeavenly Sword, I am. Not the perfect game or the blockbuster PlayStation 3 exclusive Sony had banked on, but developer Ninja Theory proved it had the chops to make a solid, original action title. Is that not enough for me to be curious about its upcoming multiplatform title,Enslaved: Odyssey to the West? The game follows the big tattooed brute Monkey who teams with the tech savvy Trip after escaping from a slave ship....

You may remember seeing this Pip-Boy clock a few months back as part of theFallout 3Survival Edition package, which was a little rich for some gamers’ tastes at $130. Still, a lot of people did buy it, and those people are starting to speak out about it — in specific, the clock, which sounds a little bit as if it was made in Taiwan by five year old slaves. Posts have started to pop up onBethesda’s forumsabout the clock’s faults, which seem to range from messy paint and scratches to total failure to operate straight out of the box or after a few days time....

It’s Fanboy Friday again! And boy do we have some good stuff for you this week. As most of you know, theKillzone 2reviews have been pouring in, and most have been very positive. PS3 owners have been anxiously awaiting a good, solid game for quite a while, and they appear to have gotten it withKillzone 2(I have to say, the video of the guy who rushes the level with 1 hit knife kills still makes me skeptical, but…)....

Thrustmaster announces the Ferrari 458 Italia Racing Wheel for Xbox 360 today. This is the first wheel officially licensed Ferrari and Xbox 360. Racing nerds will notice that the wheel is replica of theForza Motorsport 4star car, the F458 Italia. This rig features an 11-inch wheel, metal gear shifters, a d-pad, a connector for your headset and even an ignition button. A Manettino dial lets you change in-race settings. For example, this dial lets you change views inForza 4....

We’ve been chatting with Frozen North Productions CEO Julian Spillane aboutFlip’s Twisted World, a cool looking Wii platformer that I’ve personally been looking forward to. Whenever I see people talking about the game, I’m always dismayed to see people crying that it’s a big rip-off ofSuper Mario Galaxy. I put the accusation to Spillane, and also asked if the team was inspired or attempting to compete with Mario’s popular Wii adventures....

Microsoft and developer Turn 10 announced today thatForza Motorsport 3has gone gold, and confirm that a playable demo will be arriving on the Xbox Live Marketplace as of September 24th. The demo features five playable cars, and lets you jump into any one of them to sample the full circuit of the Camino Viejo track. If you know of it, El Camino Viejo is actually a pretty nice course, so this already knocks the socks off of the demo they gave us forForza 2....

A new class action suit has been fired at GameStop over allegations of illegal data reaping. Melissa Arechiga has accused the retailer of storing personal information on its customers without their knowledge or permission, because companies need to know where you live before letting you buyVampire Rain. The suit claims that when you hand your credit card over to GameStop, you’re giving them access to more intelligence than you’d perhaps like....

Well considering the amount of footage we captured this week, it only seems fair that you get to see this. Enjoy Destructoid’s blooper video from gamescom 2010!
