Actually, all the PC releases came out with in a year--usually with in 8 months. 😉
 
hmmm I might hold off and finish it for PC, I ain't far into the 360 version and always preferred the PC version of the series because they usually look better.
 
Woot that's awesome news another great game to look forward to this year and another reason not to buy a console (the only remaining one is MGS4, I don't think that'll be ported though).
 
I am glad to see that the gamers who have wanted this game are finally going to be able to get their hands on it. Hopefully they have used the delay to ensure that the UI and graphics are great on the PC version. Plus, they should be able to implement any tweaks / fixes that might be applicable based on feedback from the console gamers. But, I will never understand why Mafia did not get as popular as the Grand Theft Auto series. From what I have played of GTA, Mafia was far superior.

I enjoyed Mafia very much, and try not to compare it to GTA, which I have also enjoyed quite a bit. It's a different type of game, that's all. They both have their strengths and weaknesses over each other.

Mafia II will be out either very late this year, or more probable, sometime next year. I'm looking forward to that.

I've been playing the MP mod for GTA SA and it's actually a lot of fun. The best MP mod by far for the GTA series. The previous mods stunk, this one is wonderful.

Agreed.

Mafia is definitely in my top 3 for favourite games.

The story was the best I've seen in a game (very important to me, I don't do much multiplayer), graphics at that time were amazing (to me) and it was so much more realistic than GTA with the police not enjoying you walking around with guns or speed.

And they say the PC MP will be "expanded" whatever that means. Agree about Mafia too, I think because it came out after GTA3 it suffered from kneejerk reaction to it's being a GTA-clone. Saints Row avoided that problem by becoming almost a GTA parody, and Mafia went the other way and tried to be more serious. The biggest problem was probably that driving in Mafia wasn't very fun. GTA was about racing, explosive stunts, crazy jumps, etc. Mafia, not quite. I enjoyed both, the GTA games more, but don't see how anyone can consider Mafia "far superior."

Still between Mafia II, Saints Row 2 and GTAIV, it's going to be a busy winter.

I don't have a link, but I did read Bully is coming to the Wii & PC this year, I don't know how accurate the information it, but they did say say it wasn't a rumor.
 
I don't know if I should get it or not. I have it for my 360, so probably not. San Andreas is enough for me on the pc, at least for now.
 
Hopefully they remove auto aim permanently from multiplayer! Already finished it on ps3 though and I've always found the GTA games boring rather quickly though =\

You mean it's about time Sony's fascist exclusivity contract allowed Rockstar to do it.

What contract? It was released for the 360 the same time as the PS3. Why would Sony have a contract that would allow that?

He probably means in the old days when GTA was a exclusive and then a timed exclusive for the PS2.
