1984 (the book, not the year) is one of those classics of modern literature that is often referenced outside of its original context. The dystopian society that Orwell described was the extremization…

Now that the last episode for Hitman's first season has arrived, it is time to look back and break everything down. Certainly, the game started off in a more sparse condition than it is in now. Even…

Save for Colorado, it seems Io-interactive is hellbent on making the players of Hitman feel like tourists at worst and pampered guests at best. With a little side of murder, of course. The latest…

Another month, another Hitman episode. The last episode took place in Sapienza and ended up being quite enjoyable for my taste. The question becomes, and always will be for each episode, did it…
