Welp, just finished the SP on Extreme. Took about 9.5hrs according to Steam. Reallllly loved the environments and characters visually and the fullscreen visual effects. Always made me go 'wow' all throughout. The levels are very gritty and all the props and details are at all the right places...the puddles, the junk, etc. Characters have animated normal maps which is always nice to see since I've seen in in Uncharted =P. Other than that, as others have said, gameplay is pretty run of the mill, but much improved over K&L 1. It got repetitive, and HARD on extreme, but as with all things on high difficulty, it's satisfying once you get through a part you're stuck on. The over the shoulders handheld cam and screen artifacts and such though really added to the firefights though. It made them that much more intense, especially combined with the loud guns and such. So for the next one, more variety...stealth takedowns, robberies, etc.! Also, I was kinda sad that Lynch didn't have a schizophrenic episode or something...we're being teased at some parts like with the smoke in the building or other parts where he seems to be starting to act out, but nothing ever materializes.

For your low-poly buildings, I'd say, post the wireframes! And from job postings of technical artists I read, you'll have to write scripts and such that improve workflow and make it easier for artists, so if you've got more scripts like the one you have posted, you should post them. Other than that, you seem to be a well-rounded technical artist.

Hoping it comes out on PC or PS3 at some point!

QuoteAn Italian-American advocacy group has taken a stand against Mafia 2, asking Take-Two to halt the game's release. Andre DiMino from UNICO National wrote a letter to Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick, calling the game an "inappropriate and insulting perpetuation of the pervasive and denigrating stereotype of organized crime being the exclusive domain of Italians and Italian Americans.

Ehh, not a fan. Seems like they're just trying to bring it in line with their other sister sites though: http://www.tv.com/

Probably in March like the last one...so far =0. In the meantime, we'll have Dexter at the end of Septembre

Yeah, a bit too glossy =P. Other than that, looks real nice, there's that one more darker brown brick standing out though, shows the repetition, you can spot it?

Actually, what I found amazing about season 3 is that for almost the whole season the pace was slow, barely any "high" moments, but it didn't take away from the show at all. You still felt for the characters and felt those little moments of suspense or awkward tension.

Haven't been able to join a game, keep getting, Attempting Connection... and that's all. Are there ports I have to unblock or something?
-
Hmmm, I'm itching to pre-order Mafia 2 on Steam to get the first one, but been spending so much money lately and barely have time to play games theses days lol.

Breaking Bad is one of the shows everr. Really love the characters, the drama and the dark humour of it all. It's in my top 3 shows along with Dexter and Six Feet Under.
