Find out what’s coming in Mafia 2

Mafia 2 is predicted to raise roof tops with its new game engine designed by 2K CZECH, the visuals are stunning, the realism is unprecedented and the gameplay is oh so gritty. Well here is some information straight from 2K CZECH about what to expect for this highly anticipated sequel.

- The game takes place in “Empire Bay City” which has been created around 1950s New York City and San Francisco. Empire Bay City has been broken up into 20 distinct neighbourhoods, with absolutely no loading times between them. This means no lag either. The city’s districts will range from picket fenced suburbia to industrial estates.

- There is a lot of humor present, which lightens tense situations. There are many puns and references to modern day things that you should try to take note of.

- The game engine allows for 70 “unique, high-poly characters to be rendered on the screen at the same time”. Clothes are specially designed to react to the world in the game, your clothes sway with the wind and jackets flap as you brawl with unruly rivals.

- The game starts towards the end of the 1940’s, 1947 to be exact and ends somewhere around 1951. Through this time the city of Empire Bay undergoes some major changes and the player will be able to experience this. Modernized guns, cars, buildings and music will emerge as the time goes by.

- Car traffic will be much denser and there are new pathing systems which allow the AI to be more smarter and life like while on the road.

- The weather and time doesn’t change as you play. By this I mean it doesn’t change if you are free roaming when you are working through the story you will experience different weathering.

- There are realistic side missions which you can embark on if you choose, however they never actually strive away from the game’s plot.

- Cops are a bit more lenient on petty crimes. Evading police for minor infringements is much easier and speeding laws are also looser. As you become more notorious in the game the cops will also be less likely to cuff you

- You can buy cars, store cars and customize cars. Auto shops in the city allow you to upgrade your cars with hot accessories, such as side pipes, flames, hot rod engines and custom paint jobs.

- The cars are a little bit less “simulation” like this time around. Grace explained “We’ve taken a few more liberties this time, and made the cars that bit more exciting. There’s still a realism factor to it as you screech round a corner a hubcap might fly off, or the bumper will come away slightly.”

- You play as Vito Scaletta who was born in Sicily and is 5?11 in height and 200lbs in weight. He is the son of sicillian immigrant and he recently left the US Army.

All in all this game is on the verge of becoming one of the best games of 2009. I think it is the only that game that ever really had that authentic 1940s “gritty” feel to it. The world and atmosphere of Empire Bay City will make you feel as if you took a time machine back to the past.

Expand your horizons, always

In my opinon the number one rule to follow in any business endeavour is to NEVER limit yourself to only one area of the business. By limiting yourself to a specific region you are limiting profit and therefore hindering your business from growing. The basic prinicipal which you should live by is the “I have to try it at least once, because who knows whether it will work” theory. 

When I first started trying to make a living online I found myself only focused on doing so through Google Adsense, which I later on learned was a big mistake. I had read stories of people earning thousands upon thousands of dollars each month from just running a fairly successful website.  So as you would have thought my Adsense efforts failed quite quickly and I found myself dishing out more money for PPC (Pay Per Click) than I was receiving from actual ad clicks. 

A few months passed and I realized that what I was doing wasn’t working so after some thorough research I came across affiliate marketing plans and other CPM networks. More time went by and my income started to increase so I figured I would incorporate all of what I had learned and see how it pans out. Easier said than done so don’t stress if you are reading this and are still dumbfounded as to how it all happens. 

To cut right to the point more time went by and I started targeting larger areas of internet marketing, ergo slowly but steadily increasing my daily revenue. The thing to take away from this story is that whether you are running a barber shop or an ecommerce store you should always try to expand your horizons, think ahead and attract a wider audience. In order to acheive you sound make an attempt to try every new business opportunity AT LEAST once. 

In conclusion even if you are happy with current income you must not stop there, but instead search for other ways by which you can increase that revenue stream. Something to remember however, is that if you see that a technique or method isn’t working for you, drop it. You shoudn’t wait half a year and put yourself in debt, set out a “deadline” for each method you’re using and if you are not making a profit by then, abandon the project and move onto something else.

A new type of information outlet is coming

And so just like this another era is upon us, for me it is the establishment of this site. For you, it may be something else. Seeing as this is the first post and probably the one that will be remembered the most, I figured I should introduce myself. My name is Eric and I am currently located in the United Kingdom, London to be precise, but am of Russian descent. I’ve lived in Australia amongst other countries for the majority of my life.  I am quite young but will not reveal my exact age at the moment. 

Like most other people online these days I am an internet entrepreneur, specifiying in “internet marketing” basically I buy, sell and develop websites for a living along with a plethora of other hobbies. At the time of writing I’m currently running ten successful websites, but I expect this number to increase significantly within the next few months.  

Besides the internet world, I am also heavily involved in the gaming department. I’ve been playing video games since the age of five and am fascinated by it all. I have a number of friends in fairly high positions working for some major game development companies, so whatever information that is passed down to me, I will make sure to spread it with you guys. 

This site will be set up in a such a way that allows for easy access to the latest news and advice regarding everything electronic. Whether you are eager to find out an honest review about your future cell phone or a way to monetize your website with advertisments, this is the place to come. I would like to ask all of you to contribute comments and provide me with suggestions about how to improve the site, topics to write about or just your own personal thoughts regarding the posts. 

To conclude I would like to say that I’m going to aim to develop this and make it something worth reading, all the while keeping it personal and to my liking.
