Mafia IIs potty mouth claims record

Guinness World Records has suggested that the next edition of its Gamer’s Edition will bring with it a new swearing champion.

Having compiled a video chronicling 200 instances of the f-word it could find in 2K Games’ Mafia II, Achievement Hunters has, according to Kotaku, received an email from Guinness confirming that the title has been provisionally certified for the ‘Most Swearing in a Video Game’ gong.

Guinness has contacted 2K to obtain a copy of the game for verification purposes.

The first holder of the dubious crown was Sega’s Wii outing House of the Dead: Overkill, which detonates the f-bomb an impressive 189 times throughout the game.
