Mafia Is One of the Strangest, Messiest AAA Games Ever Released

Mafia: The Old Country is one of the most visually extravagant AAA video games we’ve ever played.

The Besties unpack their complicated feelings after a week with this oddity. And because we always like to provide something fresh for you to try, we share a few new, enjoyable games.
