Many are considering 2016 to be one of the worst the world has ever seen. Games, however, have been pretty freaking great all year round, so at least they’ve helped keep people entertained while all sorts of chaos takes place in the real world. Here are a few of my personal standouts. Are some of…
Looking back, it’s odd to think there was trepidation surrounding IO Interactive’s decision to make Hitman episodic. The game’s first season, which has been releasing episodes frequently throughout the year, has been a constant delight. Each mission has provided a multitude of ways to perform assassinations, ranging from the direct (i.e. a simple sniper shot…
After a somewhat disappointing outing in episode 4, Agent 47 disembarks in the USA for one of the best missions in the current season of Hitman. Set in a militia camp somewhere in the mountain ranges of Colorado, it’s our bald friend’s mission to take down not only one, two, or three, but four different targets,…
As we move towards the conclusion of Hitman‘s first season — there are at least two more on the way, according to recent news from IO Interactive — one thing’s crystal clear: in his entire career, Agent 47 hasn’t been afraid to take any job, no matter the circumstances. Along the series, these have included…
Generating big crowds of people has been one of gaming’s next leaps in technology. Some games have managed to convey these with moderate amounts of success, but most of the times, they end up looking like a handful of repeated character models bunched up together, going through canned animation cycles. The first game that really…
There are few things in Hitman that give me more grins than doing a perfect run through a complex level. The second episode in the new Hitman season has 47 infiltrating the villa of a dangerously cunning chemist in the beautiful coastal city of Sapienza, in Italy, in quite possibly one of the franchise’s biggest levels…
No one can escape the wrath of agent 47… not even a would be pope! Hitman’s third elusive target is up, and I’ve managed to take him down. Check out my run turned out in the video below:
On a personal level, the Hitman franchise has rarely disappointed me. Sure, 2000’s Hitman: Codename 47 was already kinda bad back then, but it helped introduced elements that are still seen in the series today. It was with its sequel, Silent Assassin, that things really started to pick up for our bald cold blooded killer, thanks…
The relationship between video games and movies is a rock one, to say the least. More often than not game-to-movie adaptions and game fans end up in bitter and unloving relationships that end in nasty divorce. However, just like real life, there is the exception to the rule. Films like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or…
