Thanks guys
i dont know much about the games you guys have suggested, i would like to know are these games (ingame) taking place in '90's, coz mafia i think is a classic time story something, i saw some screenshots(all old cars & streets).

i want something like GTA3 or GTA SA which represent a City to some scale.

And also a really good story, ( like GTA SA in which we meet Catalia of GTA3 & Rosenberg of GTA VC).

MAFIA is the best gta like game , and it has a better story than any gta has , gta is abt having fun running around with a very very open ended gameplay(awsome), mafia is something serious and story based with classic music that generates the feel where 'godfather' fails. Even a high budget production 'Godfather' is a crap game when compared to 'Mafia'.

There is a promising looking game called Yakuza, scheduled for a Sep 2006 release, but sadly for the PS2. I wish it came out for PC as well.

Check this blog for more info and trailer.

LOL! Have been waiting for it ever since the original Mafia game came out. But no news of it since Mafia 2 was announced. Another game that seems to be going the DNF way.:sad:

BOILING POINT : ROAD TO HELL
many of the bus have been fixed[update 2 eu. ver.], most importantly car dynamics and A.I. , ennough to enjoy the game.
but be sure u have "1GB" or more ram.btw it,s sweet spot is 2.17 gb ram.
consider it! it's a good fps-rpg.
total overdose is good too!

True Crime:On the streets of LA/NY

It's same as GTA but the difference is that u play as the cop instead of the thief.
Graphics looks better than GTA:VC(I haven't played GTA:SA)

to be honest, there's no other game that comes even close to GTA.

but i liked Mafia, hated GodFather, Scarface is crap (bad port), True Crime crashes on my old GMA900 & new GMA X3000 onboards:)).

most probably it'll come, XBox + PS3 =ok profit, PC game = more moolah

GTA SA PC sold more than PS2+XBoX ones combined. :wink:

& GTA modders community is one of the biggest , no way R* will take a stupid decision not to releasse GTA4 on PC.

There is Just Cause and True crime Newyork city.
Both are very taxing on the graphics card and Just cause is the better looking
with far cry like graphics and HDR.
If u dont have the latest rig then look for True Crime Los angeles.
But the other 2 are a lot better.
I recomend JUST CAUSE.It has got a large variety of cars,a huge city(bigger than that of San Andreas) ,a glamourous hero(very very better looking than CJ in san andreas) who can perform a variety of stunts and highly immersive graphics.
But the problem is it has no cheat codes and also no sex.

^^ Arre always studying can make your mind cr@p and overloaded.
Gaming is a great way to relax. I am best in class in both studies as well as Gaming so you cant say that Gaming has a wrong effect on studies.
It depend on how you manage time.

Urbvan Chaos?? nEVER heard of it. Have to play it.

GTA IV is out now on PC, just install the official v1.0.2.0 patch from Rockstar to fix the bugs.
