I can not seem to find these games anywhere and I can’t buy a used copy as my laptop does t have a disc drive, do you think GOG should release these games and offer them for purchase?

There is no good starting a thread for each game you want. Vote for them on the wishlist:

To be honest, I played one or the other and didn't think much of it. Mafia, GTA, Sleeping Dogs, plus many others are far better.

I'm still baffled by the fact that something like The Godfather: The Video Game actually happened. It's sort of like that Hamlet wtih Schwarzenegger, something you'd see a poster of as a joke in some movie, but this actually exists.

I own it on disc. It's not bad. A little rough around the edges but a good time for any fans of the movie.
It appears EA lost the rights to the game. The only solution you have is getting your hands on an external disc drive to use with your pc, and running the game dvd's that way.

I played the crap out of the first one, 100%'d it and then was sad when there was nothing else to really do. Never played the second one, though.

Great games. Still play both on PS3.

Yeah, wish these were here... and would love to see Scarface as well!

I also own it on disc. It's not bad, but it's not good either. It's highly mediocre.

And it definitely suffers from open-world-itis: the vast majority of the gameplay consists of fighting the same few copy & pasted enemies within the same few copy & pasted buildings (although the map 'pretends' they are all different building) over & over again endlessly.

And the protagonist who you play as has no personality whatsoever and IIRC he doesn't even talk, so he feels like a generic robot and not an actual person.

Games like Mafia 1 are vastly superior because they don't have any of those problems.
There is almost no chance of seeing the godfathers on gog. Because ea no longer has a license for films. And they will not repay it because it is not profitable.

You could always buy a USB-based DVD drive, so you can install the game off your disc drive. I have one, just in case.

Anyways, of course I'd love to have them on GOG. I'd still love to see EA do Godfather Part 3 game, TBH.

But, is the license done for EA's usage on this? If it is, then...I wouldn't expect much from EA, TBH. Would EA really pay to use the license again for something that likely won't be that pricey?

Would also love to see Scarface game here too.

Thing is - would Activision really be willing to pay to use that license again, on a game that likely won't be pricey or profitable?

Excellent games and music as well.

Scarface the game too, so much fun!

Well, once the film remake comes out, might be possible.. although unlikely.

My PS2 gave out and PSX2 doesn't work right with my 2 graphics cards. Really hope for a PC Scarface again.

Problem is that "Godfather" is just another GTA III clone.
The GOdfather is one of my favorite movies, and I really looked forward to the game, and was dissapointed when it came out.
I would have preferred a out and out strategy game on the topic.
I don't get why people call the game Excellent. It's just OK. I guess it;s love of the source material. i love the source material too but don't fall in love with anything wiht themagic words Godfather on it.
"Mafia" was a much better game. Yeah, it;s a GTA clone, but IMHO much better exeuted then "The Godfather".

I don' t have a high opinion of the "Godfather" game, but disagree that you cannot make a good game from the novel and the movie. The mistake was going into the direction of an action game, rather then a strategy game.

Have you played Godfather 2?

The strategy game was The Godfather: Five Families and it was pretty mediocre to poor.

Sorry you didn't care for the action angle on Godfather and Godfather II. I thought they were great. In fact on a gameplay level I think Godfather II is a better game than Mafia III.

"Only solution" eh?

Anyway, probably never gonna be sold again due to licensing, but miracles have been performed before (see: Blade Runner).
