MAFIA- the game

Nothing to worry about...,this is just about a PC GAME!!
Okay..those who are interested please go on reading..

EASILY One of the best games i have played till date, playing this game is THRILL at it's peak. REALITY is something that adds that extra bit of interest in any kind of visual entertainment. And with that case, this is ULTIMATE REALITY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE at it's very best...
Every minute detail is incredibly realistic.
The story of this game is based in the 1920's and 30's, which was the time of the high rising of the greatest EMPIRE OF CRIME, the MAFIA..

let's check out their brief history taken from wiki

[ The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra), is a criminal secret society which first developed in the mid-19th century in Sicily. An offshoot emerged on the East Coast of the United States during the late 19th century following waves of Sicilian and Southern Italian emigration. In America, the Mafia often refers to Italian American organized crime in general, rather than just Sicilian American organized crime. According to historian Paolo Pezzino: "The mafia is a kind of organized crime being active not only in several illegal fields, but also tending to exercise sovereignty functions – normally belonging to public authorities – over a specific territory..."

Some observers have seen "mafia" as a set of positive attributes deeply rooted in popular culture, as a "way of being", as illustrated in the definition by the Sicilian ethnographer, Giuseppe Pitrè, at the end of the 19th century: "Mafia is the consciousness of one's own worth, the exaggerated concept of individual force as the sole arbiter of every conflict, of every clash of interests or ideas."

Many Sicilians did not regard these men as criminals but as role models and protectors, given that the state appeared to offer no protection for the poor and weak. As late as the 1950s, the funeral epitaph of the legendary boss of Villalba, Calogero Vizzini, stated that "his 'mafia' was not criminal, but stood for respect of the law, defense of all rights, greatness of character. It was love." Here, "mafia" means something like pride, honor, or even social responsibility: an attitude, not an organization. Likewise, in 1925, the former Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Emanuele Orlando stated in the Italian senate that he was proud of being mafioso, because that word meant honorable, noble, generous.]

This game tells the story of two MAFIA dons of the imaginary city of LOST HEAVEN. The first is DON SALIERI.. a poor man who had to work his way to the top through the hardest difficulties in life...but he is highly regarded with the people for his good deeds to the poor.
The second don is DON MORELLO...a ruthless CRIMINAL who aims at nothing other than to earn money.. ToGETHER..these DONS control almost the whole city

Our HERO..Thomas(a.k.a TOMMY)..enters the scenario as a taxi driver who helps two of SALIERI's men to escape from the hands of enemy gangsters. Unfortunately, he has to pay the price for it one fine day as the gangsters come and demoslish his taxi. Tommy has nowhere to go and ends up in need of help from SALIERI himself. There begins the rise of a fiery mafioso, TOMMY.

As the levels progress, the DON becomes almost like a godfather to TOMMY. He starts to get involved in BIG deals of the DON. SALIERI'S right hand, his Consigliere( advisor ) is FRANK, a european. There exists a MAFIA law called Omertà which implies “the categorical prohibition of cooperation with state authorities or reliance on its services, even when one has been victim of a crime.” FRANK is made to disobey this law under a critical circumstance of kidnapping of his wife and children. TOMMY, on a mission to eliminate this betrayer of OMERTA, feels pity of his family and asks him to escape to a remote location somewhere in europe.

THE GAME CONTINUES with high thrill...as many more dangerous missions come to TOMMY's hands.
And to the SALIERI's orders, TOMMY even takes care of the killing of DON MORELLO. This awakes a sense of high self esteem in TOMMY for his strength. He and his friend PAULIE make a plan to rob SALIERI's bank! The plans do become reality.

But what follows is the worst part. PAULIE is killed in his own apartment. Then SAM, pretending to protect TOMMY from SALIERI's men, asks him to come to an art gallery. But actually, it had been SAM who had killed PAULIE on the DON's orders and had purposely TRAPPED Tommy.
There begins the final mission of the game, which is a bloody hairy shootout. The final one on one encouter with SAM is the toughest part of the game.

Finishing this, the epilogue of the story starts. TOMMY, after wasting out SAM, immediately flies off. He then goes to the court and starts a case against SALIERI with the help of a lawyer. TOMMY wins the case. SALIERI and his men are put under the bars. TOMMY himself settles into a new life somewhere in SOUTHERN USA. In the last cut scene, TOMMY is visited by two men who with shotguns. THEY JUST SAY ,"Mr.SALIERI has sent you his regards" and SHOOOOTTTTT........................

THERE LIES A HEAVILY BLEEDING TOMMY IN THE GARDEN.....

END of the game, one which truly wouldn't disappoint you.

ORDINARY ROUTINE

wake up at 9, breakfast at 11 30 or 12, lunch at 4!, dinner (timed better) at 9 30, nd finally back to bed the first hour of the next day.

SEEMS WEIRD? well in that case u can call me a weird person cuz this is exactly what i do everyday!...but of course..SADLY... I can't have these LUXURIES once the school reopens again..

I have always felt very proud to confess that SLEEPING is one of my favourite things to do. And with the prediction of the meteorology department that monsoon would start by the final week of may 'UNBELIEVABLY' coming true.. I just thrive to sleep as long as possilble. After those SLEEPLESS, SCORCHING summer nights wen i used to think as far as stripping myself to get atleast some coolness!!(even that wouldn't have worked I feel), the heavenly feeling of escaping under that bed sheet which i use to conceal myself from the world altogether, those dreams which I completely forget the next day morning( I have tried soo much to figure out just 'WHAT DID I DREAM LAST NIGHT??',and i end up without getting even a tiny hint )
Okay then on to what happens after those dreams..



But post-sleep activities are not much better...sometimes i may go again and take a nap at the front room DIVAN!...with a blunt xcuse that i wuz just lying down for a little while..hmm so this is my ORDINARY ROUTINE you shall say..but if I continue to explain further I'm sure u r not goin to bear this for long.

SO let me chalk out something better...
Well..there is this website called ORKUT that is driving teens crazy these days( even i am a GUILTY victim of this). It happened one day that i saw this SERIOUSLY strange JAPANESE man with a friend request for me!!..really i wuz taken aback for 1 sec..MY FAME HAD REACHED EVEN JAPAN??
okay so i let the poor guy have me as a friend, and suddenly he started sending SCRAPS to me!!....and to worsen the scenario...ALL IN JAPANESE LANGUAGE!! Then i thought, if MR.JAPAN(his name is a real tongue twister) is soo much obsessed with using japanese.. then why don't I offer my respect to my own language, MALAYALAM..and so i did...replied him back with a few difficult words like 'KSHEMANWESHANANGAL'(well wishes), 'PRAKRITIDHATTAM'(by nature), 'SAMAKAALIKASAMOOHAVICHAARANGAL'(social thoughts)( dat tym i wuz quite gud at malayalam, esp due to board studies) nd all..ehh..poor guy...

Anyways..that was the end of my contact with MR.JAPAN..havn't heard anything from him after that

SO another hour is spend daily on CHATTING..which is quite a gud time pass if it's with my school friends..nd another 1 or 2 hours would be spend on pc games..

Listening to music is one of my favorite hobbies..so another 1 or 2 hours would be spend for that...

Aannd..not to forget the IDIOT BOX..which is my favourite companion...
The speed at which i surf between the channels is really blinding..that someone sitting beside me would think i have gone nuts!..but THAT is my xperience with the thing..i know xactly wer a watchable channel would come..i can even make what kind of show is going on from a split-second image!

Among other things..hmm...nothin much more..just somehow manage to keep wasting time...going out with friends, riding on the scooter for a while, going to the dvd shop to catch some cool new PIRATED movies,.... DAYS JUST GO ON AND ON LIKE THIS........
