There will be a Demo for Mafia II

2K Games have announced today that Mafia II will have a downloadable demo available worldwide on August 10 on PSN and XBL. The actual game is set to be released on August 24th in North America, August 26th in Australia and August 27th internationally.

Here’s a description of what what will be included in the demo:

The Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the “Buzzsaw” level, where Vito and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as “The Fat Man”. While the epic game spans two decades, the Buzzsaw demo takes place during the summer of the ‘50s – a time considered the “Birth of Cool”, and with it, rock ‘n’ roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. The demo showcases the type of vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, as well as a slice of the expansive city of Empire Bay in the colorful era.

Modern Warfare 2 controllers announced!

Infinity ward has partnered with Mad Catz to release a range of Modern Warfare 2 accessories, including a controller specialized for the game. it was found out on Twitter that the controller was in production, and it was officially announced on August 11th 2009. The controller will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, as well as other accessories, which weren't specified.

The CEO of infinity ward, Vince Zampella, has stated that he is happy with the work Mad Catz has done, and can't wait for fans to play the game this November.

Modern warfare 2 multiplayer revealed!

The first multiplayer footage of Modern warfare 2 has been revealed! here is the video that shows multiplayer gameplay and some of the brand new features included in the game.

Customizable killstreaks- you can now choose what rewards you want for your killstreaks, instead of having to stick to the UAV, airstrike and helicopter. there were a total of 15 slots in the killstreaks menu, so expect to have plenty of choice when it comes to what rewards you want.

AC-130 in multiplayer- when you manage to get an 11 kill streak, you can remotely control the weapon on an AC-130 gunship. yes, the one from that mission in COD4.

Sticky grenades- at the end of the trailer it shows the player using a sticky grenade to kill an enemy standing one the other side of a crate. he also gets bonus XP from it!

Buzzkill- the gameplay shows that you get bonus XP if you cut an enemy short of getting a killstreak. so basically when the enemy is one kill short from getting a killstreak reward.

Improved HUD- the HUD in modern warfare 2 has been given a new style, and it looks alot better than COD4's.
