Drum-loaded Thompson guns may be the iconic staple of the Mafia, but nothing adds flair like a freshly pressed trench coat and a crisp fedora.

Video Blips:

• A group of wiseguys in Mafia 2 decide to teach the laws of physics a lesson it can't refuse. I'm not sure if hardened criminals would serenely stand next to exploding cars like that.

Continue after the break for a fleeting glimpse at Sonic Colors, a Red Dead Redemption trailer for a Hollywood-directed machinima, and a debut video for Two Worlds 2.

 

• By the time my eyelids finished blinking, this trailer for Sonic Colors was over. I realize that Sonic epitomizes speed over everything else, but this is getting ridiculous. [GameTrailers]


• John Hillcoat, director of The Road and The Proposition, is releasing a short film created entirely with assets from Red Dead Redemption. On the other hand, this trailer looks suspiciously like another typical commercial for the game.


• Two Worlds 2 is one of those rare games that has a palindrome for a title. Oh, and cooperative role-playing games are always awesome. [YouTube]
