Game News - EA Launches The Godfather On PS3 & Wii, Announces PS3 Line-up

   One year after it first wreaked havoc on the PC and "last-gen" consoles, The Godfather is throwing another couple of punches this week on two more platforms, as Electronic Arts finally released the PlayStation 3 and Wii editions in North America. On the PS3, the game is titled The Godfather: The Don's Edition and costs $49.99, while Wii lovers should keep an eye out for a box reading The Godfather: Blackhand Edition and a more intimidating price tag of $59.99. Both games have been developed by EA Redwood Shores, and they should also be available worldwide tomorrow, March 23, along with the launch of the PlayStation 3 in PAL territories.
"The Godfather Blackhand Edition redesigns the motion-based Blackhand Control system specifically for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The power is in your hands as you take down the opposition, or point directly at the screen using the Wii Remote for pinpoint firearm accuracy.

The Godfather The Don's Edition contains The Corleone Expansion Pack with new compounds to control, missions to conquer, and the new Corleone Challenges mode. The Godfather The Don's Edition also takes full advantage of the SIXAXIS controller for PlayStation 3; manhandle your controller to manhandle your opponent."    In a follow-up announcement today, Electronic Arts also announced the six games they have in store(s) for tomorrow's PS3 launch in Europe and other PAL territories. So without further ado, here they be:
- Def Jam: Icon
- The Godfather: The Dons Edition
- Need for Speed Carbon
- NBA Street Homecourt
- Fight Night Round 3
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07    These titles, they say, "usher in a world of next generation gaming experiences on the new console. Each of these stunning high definition games takes advantage of the advanced power of the CELL processor and the motion-sensitive SIXAXIS controller. Over the coming year, EA will add more than 20 titles to its PlayStation 3 portfolio with titles such as Burnout 5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Skate and Army of Two."
