Have you ever wanted to run your own criminal empire? Of course you have. Omerta – City of Gangsters, previously announced for Windows PC, will be gracing your Xbox 360 console in the fall of 2012. Wondering what Omerta – City of Gangsters actually is? Think a mafioso version of Sim City.

As a newly arrived immigrant in the 1920′s, players will work their way up the criminal ladder in Atlantic City, NJ. First, you’ll recruit your own gang — pale in comparison to the Don’s that have already established themselves. But as your gang grows and you muscle your way into other territories, your influence will spread with the ultimate goal of running the city.

Omerta – City of Gangsters is a turn-based strategy game where you manage your businesses and gang members in real-time. Your thugs will go on missions ranging from simple HQ raids and bank robberies, to assassinations and prison breaks, which aren’t exactly legal ways to make a living. But worry not, as having a little extra cheddar in your pocket can ensure that bribes reach the right people who gladly turn a blind eye.

The most amazing aspect of Omerta – City of Gangsters, though, is the multiple ways to finish missions. Sneaking around and using cover to avoid suspicion can be just as critical (and deadly) as storming into a fight using a hail of bullets. Being developed by Haemimont Games and Published by Kalypso media, the tandem that brought you the hit installments Tropico 3 and 4, Omerta – City of Gangsters looks interesting and should offer hours of gameplay.
