10. Mafia 3

The Mafia series has had a bit of an up-and-down life, by which I mean the first game was awesome and the second game was kind of 'meh'. So in the spirit of the current AAA trend, 2K have taken the open-world formula and the rags-to-riches gangland tale, and thrown it into an entirely new time and place.

Intriguingly, that setting is New Orleans in the 1970s, which is fucking fantastic! So expect plenty of Jazz bars, angular cars, lots of rain, and cool Creole townhouses. The setting is oozing with attitude, and even if the gameplay is little more than decent, it will be fascinating to explore.

Thankfully, the gameplay looks good from what we've seen - a classic urban open-world mixture of driving, shooting and, errr, slightly gratuitous instant melee kills. Keep your eyes on this!
