The CBC has an extensive write-up on the Godfather game – “Digitizing the Don”. Although it was written back in May, it goes in depth on the research and work put forth in creating the game. I myself cannot wait for this one as I’m a huge fan of Mafia on the PC.

” The narrative of the novel and the movies is like a spine, Campbell says, and the story that each player will write and live‚ virtually as he or she plays follows its own path, intersecting with the established story at key points. Making that varied and rich enough to encourage people to play more than once means writing a number of different possible courses of action. But following that impulse too far could mean an infinite proliferation of stories, and could bog the narrative momentum down in tangential dead ends.”
