The Old Country Nude Mod Removed By Take-Two
Game Reviews

The Old Country Nude Mod Removed By Take-Two

by admin August 21, 2025


Two free mods for the PC version of Mafia: The Old Country that removed the clothes from one of the game’s main female characters were removed by publisher Take-Two Interactive using a DMCA request.

As spotted by PC Gamer, a pair of NSFW nude mods for the recently released linear action game Mafia: The Old Country have been removed from popular modding site Nexus Mods by Take Two’s lawyers, according to a Nexus customer support representative on the site’s forums. One of the nude mods replaced Isabella Torrisi’s in-game model with a nude version.  The other mod, “Extended Textures For Nude Isabella,” allowed players to modify the character’s model, letting them give her “bigger nipples, bigger areola,” and even offering “cute pubic hair” options, according to text still indexed on Google search results. Both of these mods were created by Nexus user norskpl.

“A takedown/DMCA request was issued by Lisa Deere [on behalf of Take Two Interactive Software, Inc.] on 08/12/2025,” posted a Nexus mod rep on the forums. “We were able to internally verify the legitimacy of this claim through the requesting of additional evidence to prove the identity of the claimant and the rights they hold over the content in question.”

Interestingly, screenshots of the mod seem to indicate that norskpl didn’t create the nude model of Isabella themselves, but instead ripped it out of a different part of The Old Country which features a nude Torrisi in bed with another character. It seems that they then tweaked the model and added options to modify it using mods. So in a way, this is like Take-Two Interactive’s lawyers DMCAing their own content. It’s an odd situation, but not surprising, as in the past, Take-Two has used DMCA requests to yank down mods they don’t approve of in other games, including Grand Theft Auto V.

Perhaps using the Mafia: The Old Country‘s own pre-existing nude model is the problem, as it is content owned by Take-Two being used in a way they likely don’t approve of. I wonder, had the modder had just replaced the don’s daughter with a nude Shrek or Thanos, if Take-Two lawyers would have shown up at all.

Mafia: The Old Country will get a proper open world mode via game update "in the coming months"

Mafia: The Old Country will get a proper open world mode via game update “in the coming months”

by admin August 19, 2025


Mafia: The Old Country may be an offer you can probably refuse, but it does have a lush-looking open world – “clearly designed with care and a sharp eye for capturing the beauty of a fairytale landscape that alternates between serene and rugged,” as Mark “Ice Pick” Warren wrote in our review.

The game’s focus on shootybangs and stabfights does the backdrop a disservice, as does its rather barren and easy-to-miss Exploration mode, which I hear is basically a chance to snaffle up some collectibles. Devs Hangar 13 and their godfathers at 2K Games aim to fix all that with a forthcoming Free Ride mode, which will “add some new activities and gameplay, arriving free for all players in the coming months,” according to a developer update.

Hangar 13’s previous Mafia: Definitive Edition also had a Free Ride mode, which let you roam Lost Heaven taking on new missions and races and even tussling with alien invaders. I would assume The Old Country’s version will be similar in both content and direction. Can’t wait to see what flying saucers look like in 1900s Sicily.

I’m always happy when blockbuster devs add modes that encourage you to revisit and savour the texture of the world. Projects such as Mafia: The Old Country typically pour tens of millions into the creation of art assets that are doomed to be appreciated for around five seconds while players zip fecklessly from cover to cover.

I guess that mingled decadence and disposability is part of the triple-A thrill, like burning 100 dollar bills to light a cigar. Have you ever done that? I once set a five pound note on fire for a dare, but I extinguished it immediately and, I think, bought a coffee with it. This is why I will never run 2K Games.

Again, there’s no hard launch date yet for Free Ride in Mafia: The Old Country. In the shorter term, Mark has dug up a first-person driving mod, which allows you to savour the period detail at the modest expense of occasionally seeing your own eyeballs floating in front of your face.

McDonald’s launches Mac & Cheese snack wrap but only in one country

by admin May 26, 2025



McDonald’s has launched a new mac and cheese snack wrap for breakfast customers, but it’s only available in one country.

McDonald’s discontinued the Snack Wrap in the United States back in 2016, but it hasn’t prevented the billion-dollar fast food franchise from keeping them alive and well in other countries.

Canada, for example, has McWraps that come in variations like Creamy Chipotle Chicken, Sweet Chili Fish, and breakfast wraps that use egg, hash browns, and even chicken.

Now, the company has released a new breakfast wrap for customers to enjoy, but those in the US will have to look from afar.

New breakfast wrap features mac and cheese

Dubbed the Crispy Mac N’ Cheesy Wrap, it features a crispy mac and cheese patty, scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of chicken, ham, or sausage wrapped in a warm tortilla.

The downside for US customers, however, is that the new wrap is only available in Singapore as of writing.

Those who want their breakfast to be a bit simpler can still get the regular wrap that features everything except for the crispy mac and cheese patty. McDonald’s has also released a new tater-tot-like item that they’ve dubbed the potato pops, which are also only available in Singapore.

This comes after years of McDonald’s fans in the United States taking to social media to ask for the return of snack wraps in the country.

Its return has been confirmed by the company, which says people asking for the menu item helped influence their decision to bring it back to stores.

As for when it’ll arrive, it isn’t exactly known yet. They’ve already launched their main ingredient, the McCrispy strips, and say the snack wraps will launch on the fourteenth day of any month before October.

Being that the date falls on the weekend during June and September, it’s likely we’ll have the Snack Wraps back in the US during July or August 2025.
