Vol-Steady As A Rock: Omerta - City Of Gangsters

Here's some Prohibition news: I watched Lawless last year and even though it's paced badly at times, I enjoyed it and marvelled at Shia TheBeef doing some proper acting. Keep the lad away from Spielberg and Bay and he might have a bright future in the business called 'show'. Or at least a less obvious one. Omerta takes place in the big city rather than out in the sticks but, like Lawless, it's about guns, gangsters and odd pacing, the latter due to its turn-based nature. Craig pointed out that the latest trailer is a Mac trailer and it also reuses lots of footage from the previous video, but it does show more of the strategic interface and has a toe-tapping tune.

Although it looks about as clunky as the reload mechanism on a poorly maintained M1918, I want Omerta. The combat looks daft in videos but could be swell to play around with and the setting should provide plenty of character. We'll find out on February 1st.
