We've got two copies of Scarface for the Nintendo Wii that we are dying to give away. The game is based on the classic Brian De Palma film with Al Pacino and presents a hypothetical "What if Tony Montana survived?" question. Thing is, being mean bastards, we aren't going to just give these copies away. We're going to hold a contest. Here's the deal: paint your face (gaming themes get bonus points), snap a pic and send it to kotakucontest@gmail.com. The two best entries won't just get a free copy of Scarface. Oh no, they'll get INTERNET FAME. Brian Ashcraft More »

A game that performed wildly beyond anyone's predictions, Scarface: The World is Yours is now officially set to release on the Wii this summer, and there's a big old press release after the jump to prove it. The game will feature the same story and overall experience that sold 1.5 million copies on other platforms, with optimized graphics and gameplay and of course, a whole new control scheme to take advantage of the wiimote and nunchuk setup. Says Cindy Cook, chief strategy and marketing officer of Vivendi games: More »

Vivendi issued a release the other day to let us know that Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. was coming to the PlayStation Portable. Oh, and that previously announced Xbox 360 version? Nixed. With the recent news that The Sopranos will also not make an appearance on Microsoft's next-gen console, that means gamers looking for a Hollywood gangster fix are going to have to settle for The Godfather. Ouch. More »
