All I know is the Wii version was surprisingly good fun, and released at a point when there were literally no adult games for the console.

Maybe Puzo Jr should get a job, some self-respect and stop creaming off dead dad...

The deal was struck so I don't see an issue with Paramount paying up. If my parents left me a multi-million dollar franchise to cream off I sure as heck wouldn't let anyone use it for free (charities and non profit being the exception)

I'm curious about the exact contract, as I'd be willing to bet there'll be a get out due to the fact it's a video game. They'll probably argue it's interactive art :P

The game deserved to be a cult hit, if only for the fact that it immediately followed the restaurant scene with a car chase and tommygun shootout. That is amazing! Other licensed games wish they could butcher their material this deftly.

There's just no point in anyone parodying film-to-game adaptations anymore; reality has trumped all possible fiction.

Umm, the guys dead, why does his son deserve to get anything?

But then, I'm a big fan of 100% death taxes (just like Warren Buffett, so not quite alone), and don't see why any child deserves to inherit......

Whatever people think about the games, or the kid and his inheritence of his father's finance, surely it's irrelevent? Sounds like Paramount is trying to weasel out of paying royalties. They'd be the first to take action if it was vice versa.

Godfather sucks. Whatever happened to the Sopranos FPS. Imagine - class-based FPS insanity with everyone's favourite mafiosos... Play as Tony (like Crysis, only with Pentium II power), Chris (Haze!) or Paulie (?). Would be made of awesome, as they say on Aerie Peak-EU.

@ Golgo...

" Maybe Puzo Jr should get a job, some self-respect and stop creaming off dead dad... "

Maybe he'll do that when you renounce *your* inheritance and use your will to leave your money to some rich Hollywood magnates. Your comment, and the real world, are completely at variance. Wake up.
