London -- GamesIndustry.biz reports that game developer Electronic Arts has confirmed that it is currently developing a game based on "The Godfather" film from Francis Ford Coppola and novel from Mario Puzo. EA CFO Warren Jenson confirmed the development plans at a recent Bear Stearns conference. The title would be an unlikely foray for EA into "Mature"-rated games, which include rival developer Rockstar Games' popular and graphically violent "Grand Theft Auto" franchise. EA is best known for its sports and "Teen"-rated war-themed titles, such as "Madden NFL" and "Battlefield 1942."
