Gangland delayed

Less than two weeks before it was set to shake down stores, Gangland has been delayed until March 3. "Gangland is gearing up for release and gamers are in for a hell of a ride," said Fred Heslop, President of Whiptail Interactive, the game's publisher. "We wanted to iron out a few minor details to ensure the finest gaming experience."

Developed by Danish studio MediaMobsters, Gangland puts players in charge of a Sicilian gang in a fictional 1920s metropolis. The game has several modes which combine elements of simulation, role-playing, and real-time strategy, letting players manage their criminal empire, start their own Mafia family, or wage war on city streets. GameSpot's preview has more on the as-yet-unrated PC game, which will retail for $49.99.
