 "Check out 16 minutes of Hitman Absolution")
Everyone’s favourite bald assassin, Agent 47 has been MIA for a while but now developer IO are prepping him for return next year in Hitman Absolution. At E3 2011, the game was demoed to select media outlets and now that very same gameplay footage has been released officially by Eidos.
This 16 minute walkthrough takes place in a library in Chicago where Agent 47 somehow gets stranded. With no weapons on him, he must use cunning, stealth and in some cases, brute force to make it out of there alive. The game looks a bit dumbed down from what we’re used to seeing in most Hitman games with a new X-Ray system that even allows you to determine an enemy’s pattern but it still looked intense as hell. Unfortunately there’s no release date to this game yet but we hope we’ll be playing it early 2012.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
