His father, trying to make ends meet, gets killed while working for the mob, and his uncle is badly wounded. Joey Bane returns home from the army to the fictional state of Temperance just in time for tragedy to strike. The character you play may be a crook, but he's a sympathetic one. If even a virtual life of crime might not seem appealing to you, the game offers a good hook to reel you in. We played an incomplete alpha build of the new game, and based on what we've seen, it looks like Hothouse may well hit its target. With its upcoming sequel, Gangsters 2, Hothouse hopes to build on the ideas behind the original Gangsters, while avoiding its pitfalls. Trying to follow your nefarious activities in the city during the real-time segments also prove overly difficult at times. While the fundamental concepts behind Gangsters are rife with potential, many players feel the game suffers from a cluttered, confused interface and inadequate instructions. You then switch from this static planning phase to a real-time mode, where you watch and aid your thugs at "work" in an animated 2D city. You issue orders to your thugs, telling them to recruit new hoods, extort local business, or take out enemy mobsters, all with the goal of raising profits and gaining territory. By analyzing a large array of message windows, graphs, and charts, you plan the coming week's strategy while keeping an eye on your competition across town. Your goal in that game is to is to create a criminal empire in the fictional, Chicago-like city of New Temperance. With its 1998 release of Gangsters, developer Hothouse Creations tried to tap into the mystique of 1920s gangsterism with an interesting, if flawed, blend of turn-based empire builder and real-time strategy game. In a nation founded by dissenters, revolutionaries, and individualists, criminals who openly scoff at the law have seemingly always had a certain dark appeal.

Between bootlegging and racketeering, mafiosi like Al Capone and archrival George "Bugs" Moran garnered vast wealth and power, plus more than a little notoriety. When the taps ran dry under the 1919 Volstead Act, organized crime made sure the liquor would continue to flow. Crime may not pay, but you would have had a hard time trying to convince the Prohibition-era mob bosses of that.
