Hitman Review (Paris) – A Gent Who Needs More

Hitman Is Now Set To Be A 'Truly Episodic' Game
Hitman has been a weird one when it comes to release structure The word had been the game would be split up, but how and where was a bit foggy Even the term 'episodic' seemed to come and go from the game's marketing. However, the game has fully embraced it now, announcing in a statement that[...]

Hitman Release Date(s) And Content Outlined In Infographic
I saw Hitman at EGX and was pretty impressed with what I saw It looked like Absolution on new hardware, which is basically everything I want out of Io Interactive's new game.

Ever since E3, Hitman has gone very quiet The follow up to Absolution has been hotly anticipated by fans of the series, as they try to get that dreadful movie in the rear view mirror. It was slated for release this year, but due to the radio silence on the game, it probably isn't a huge[...]

New Hitman Footage Turns Up Online Showing Classic Play
Hitman is back this year, which is cool by me Hitman: Absolution was a good return for the series so getting more from the stealth game should be interesting Io Interactive have a pretty confusing release pattern, saying that the game won't necessarily be finished when it launches with content being added regularly It's hard[...]
The New Hitman Game Will Launch 'Unfinished'
One story I didn't get to during the PlayStation press conference was the a new Hitman game had been announced It was simply called Hitman and is out December 8th.

Past Meets Present – Square Enix At E3
This was apparently a new way to see Lara, in a turn based strategy and followed in the footsteps of Hitman Go both stylistically and in the way the game play flowed This isn't a problem but may not attract all fans of the rest of the games in the series. Final Fantasy VII Remake teaser[...]

Created by Six Pack, who had the power of being drunk, they appeared in the Hitman comic, from Garth Ennis and John McCrea Never hitting the high sales, they managed to crawl to a very respectable sixty issues and were both shockingly silly, savage, scandalous and touching in equal measure.

Hitman: Agent 47 Trailer Heralds The Assassin's Return To The Big Screen
When I heard they were taking another stab at a Hitman movie, my first reaction was, "Why?" The first one is serviceable enough for fans, and in the ensuing time, Hitman is no longer as prominent a gaming franchise as it once was Hell, even when the first Hitman movie came out in 2007, Agent[...]

New Hitman Game Could Be Announced Later This Year
  Hitman: Absolution was a bit underappreciated I've never been a huge Hitman guy, but that game caught my attention and I had a really great time with it The freedom of choice, level design and old school sensibilities gave it a unique flavor I really dug (not including that schlocky nun trailer). About a year ago, IO Interactive[...]

HITMAN: ABSOLUTION, a game where you play a bald man in a suit for hire who finds creative and preferably discreet ways of murdering people I admit it, it's kind of fun, this sociopathy simulator, scouring an environment to find ways to bump off a specific target rather than run in guns blazing Poisoning, accidents[...]

Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh: Not Killing Them Softly
So last week, Square Enix/Eidos released a new trailer for HITMAN: ABSOLUTION and started a minor shitstorm. Basically, the trailer shows a bunch of hyper-sexualised clothes-shedding women with guns wearing latex-fetish nun outfits approaching the hero's motel to kill him If this had been a hitsquad of men, we would not have been treated to shots[...]
