Mafia II - Available May 1 through May 15 - Mafia II is a beautifully crafted look into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia.

Together, they will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. Starting with low-level jobs like robbery and stealing cars, Vito and Joe escalate quickly up the Mafia family ladder…but the life as a wise guy isn’t quite as glamorous as it seems.
