Submissions close at 6 PM CT on Thursday, August 14th.

Mainly aimed at Marty since I watched him stream it, do you think your opinion of the game would have changed on a harder difficulty? I watched someone play on normal and they soured some while having to grind late game combat out. Also, I fully mean this judgement free. I ain't got time for hard video games on normal.

Evening though it's "good" across many criterion, Mafia still has a unique flavor that younger gamers should at least get to taste. I really enjoyed Mafia 2 for it's flavor, but I still have the means to play it and I am happy the series is staying relevant to maybe push boundaries in the future (maybe Mafia flavored legally distinct and elevated Nemesis system?) What "good" games do you think may be just hanging around, but have untapped potential? Also Marty, it may be obtuse and really stupid that you cant swim up or down, but Blitzball is a fantastic strategy minigame (not a sport minigame) and I will die on that hill!
