Godfather II date nailed down

EA has narrowed down its previous prediction of February for Godfather II's arrival, confirming it'll be released in Europe on the 27th. US gamers will get it three days earlier.

Godfather II is in development for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It didn't particularly thrill us when we previewed it, but we were at least pretty convinced that there'd be improvements over the original.

The February release puts it a good few months ahead of the Autumn projections for rival mob-sim Mafia II, just in case your bat-wielding muscles are getting slack.
