Big Lebowski quotes aside, this game is getting great buzz and looks like a lot of fun.
It's basically a management sim, where you try to keep your officers alive, the mob happy (and from killing you) and your pension intact while trying to stuff a few greenbacks into your retirement fund before they throw you out on your ass.
