Hitman III is a decent conclusion to the trilogy on its own, but it only really shines as a full package with the previous two games’ worth of content.

E3 2018: Here’s some pre-release Hitman 2 footage!
Have you ever wanted to see me fumble around Miami trying to make an assassination happen while being guided through an E3 demo? Yeah? Well, this is the closest you’re gonna get, buddy. Here’s some footage from the pre-release version of Hitman 2 that I tested at this year’s E3. The game’s coming out November 13th […]
Hitman Episode 6: Hokkaido Review – Strike at the heart
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 […]
Hitman Episode 5: Colorado Review – Apricot heaven
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, […]
Hitman Episode 4: Bangkok Review – Rocking out for chaos
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 […]
Hitman Episode 3: Marrakech Review – Coping with the coup
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 […]
Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza Review – Knowledge is power
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 […]
Hitman Episode 1: Paris Review – Down the runway
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 […]
Hitman: Absolution Review
Agent 47 has had it rough over the years. Rougher than any genetically-engineered professional assassin could ever come to expect. Missions have taken him just about everywhere in the world, almost everyone he has ever met either tried to kill him or was supposed to be offed as a contract and now, in Hitman: Absolution, […]
