Xbox Gaming in South Africa

2K Games has announced that Mafia II will be preceded by a demo on Xbox LIVE, coming in 10 August. Like the sort of entourage that turns up to look tough and important before the Don arrives at his local pizza takeout.

The demo includes a mission called "Buzzsaw", set in a 1950s Empire Bay city, that sees protagonist Vito Scaletta and his chums out to do the mobster thing on some guy named "The Fatman".

Mafia 2 is expected to release in South Africa on 27 August.
