Bringing together car chases, bank heists, a bit of gang warfare and a lovingly created 1930s world, Mafiais easily one of the most ambitious PC games of the year. Fortunately, it's also one of the best.

Driven by a narrative that tells the story in flashback of Tommy Angelo, a member of the mob who wants out, the game positively oozes detail. From cars of the time through to a lively, living city to explore, you can't help but be drawn into the world that Mafia creates.

Ultimately, Mafia sets itself very high targets and pretty much meets them all. It's arguably one of the best three single-player games of the year, and it's a very demanding gamer who won't get their money's worth from it.
