Screaming Monkey announces Cash Money Millionaire

Starting with nothing but a handgun and your pride you must begin your crime spree to wealth and underground fame by knocking over small neighborhood stores. As the money comes in, you extend your reach by hiring a crew taking on bigger jobs, running numbers, ho’s and drugs into the city. Money and power grows but so does your reputation. Other kingpins start pressing on you and your turf. In your quest for power, you also have to start knocking off your competition. An all out war is started in the streets of Colton City, who will survive to be the Kingpin? As the main character, players will be able to dispense their own ways of “working” the city through automotive combat, a variety of weapons at their disposal and straight up street fighting. Cash Money Millionaires has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
