        so wait are you saying it was cancelled because they haven't said anything about it since then?
        
        I never saw any cancellation news.

        no kidding.. Mafia was announced back in like 99/00, sometime after Hidden & Dangerous 2 was announced...both games took forever to come out. When Mafia came out, there was very little advance notice. If people hadn't warezed it and started talking about it a week before it came out, I may have never known about it finally being released.
        
        Hell, I was the only one at Best Buy on launch day waiting for a copy :(
        
        Hopefully whatever their next game is gets some better advertising / marketing so that people will actually know when it's out.

        That was a "rumor" press release from Aug last year.
