Hitman Sniper Challenge is dead eye fun, I are Agent 47

I didn’t think a few minutes of sniping could hold me over until November but I was dead wrong.  The Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge is surprisingly addictive for the 15 minutes of challenge it provides.  You are Agent 47 and you’re perched atop a building looking for your next target. There are several ways to [...]

Saints Row: The Third, Enter The Dominatrix brings super powers

Saints Row: The Third, Enter The Dominatrix brings super powers

Saints Row: The Third (and really each game in the series) is just insane.  I love the franchise and especially what they’ve done with The Third.  There is just so much crazy in the game to do that the replay value in it is sky high.  Now THQ is tipping its hand to unveil Enter [...]

A subscription based Xbox 360 bundle inbound?

You can chalk this one up as a really weird rumor parading around the intertubes.  Microsoft is supposedly getting ready to unleash a subscription based model of its Xbox 360 Kinect bundle that will involve customers signing up for a two year contract.  According to the reports, a 4G Kinect bundle will hit stores along [...]

Bethesda and Tango Gameworks survival horror, codenamed Zwei

Bethesda and Tango Gameworks are dipping their hats into the survival horror business with a project they’ve codenamed Zwei.  Alongside director Shinji Mikami, they expect it to be a true testament to the genre that will push the limits of fear and exhilaration. “A true ‘survival horror’ game is one in which the player confronts [...]

Echoer, the next addiction in the social sphere

Echoer, the next addiction in the social sphere

I’ve tried a thousand apps.  There are some that I like and tons of others that I don’t like.  And then there are a few that manage to convince me that I should be using them daily … sort of like some Jedi mind trick or something.  Echoer is one such app that has convinced [...]

Halo 4 release date, enter the Chief on November 6

I’m not sure what to say about this.  I’m really excited to see what 343 Industries does with Halo because it’ll mark the first time (minus Halo Wars of course) that someone controls the Halo universe beyond Bungie.  I have faith in the boys and girls at 343 Industries but will the legions of Halo [...]

Spartan Ops, Infinity MP…Halo 4 details emerge

Hey I’m Deacon.  I’m a self confessed Halo fan that saw his love for the franchise dwindle after Halo 2 and never to return quite the same.  I do still enjoy Halo but for some reason I haven’t been able to finish any Halo game beyond Halo 1 and Halo 2.  Yes I still need [...]

Square Enix reveals final set of DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2

Are you ready to put the finishing touches on your journey through Final Fantasy XIII-2?  Well Square Enix says ready or not here it comes … the final set of downloadable content for the game.  These include two new episodes, “Snow’s Story: Perpetual Battlefield” and “Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess,” along with White and Black Mage outfits and “A Wondrous Wardrobe,” which includes 16 different costumes for Mog, the moogle.

 About “Snow’s Story: Perpetual Battlefield”:

Snow is engaged in battles at the Coliseum after being separated from his fiancée, Serah. The episode also features a battle against the “Arbiter of Time,” who has been watching events unfold at the Coliseum. Snow should pose a difficult challenge to players and will allow them to end the Coliseum battles on a high note, and ultimately unlock Snow as a party member. 

About “Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess”:

This DLC reveals the arduous battle between Lightning and Caius not shown in the main game. Players will be able to adjust the difficulty level and play as Lightning, who uses special abilities available only in this episode. Players will also be able to unlock the FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 version of Lightning as a party member. Because the episode includes important information relating to the overall storyline of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, players are encouraged to complete the game prior to playing through this new content.

Hitman Sniper Challenge is dead eye fun, I are Agent 47

I didn’t think a few minutes of sniping could hold me over until November but I was dead wrong.  The Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge is surprisingly addictive for the 15 minutes of challenge it provides.  You are Agent 47 and you’re perched atop a building looking for your next target.

There are several ways to execute your target and several ways to ultimately end the Sniper Challenge.  One of the more interesting things about it is the fact that there are different challenges placed throughout the game that will unlock certain items in the full game once it releases.  You have to find a set number of pigeons, eliminate evidence that a stripper was on the scene, find the Gnome .. and somehow pull off an elevator kill while people are watching.

I’ve been playing it nonstop since yesterday.  I’ve unlocked quite a few things for the full game in November that I’m excited to incorporate into my Hitman arsenal.  I suggest you guys pre-order this game so that you can download the Sniper Challenge and enjoy it.  If you don’t want to challenge yourself, then you can challenge me.

The Sniper Challenge has leaderboards for your friends as well as globally.  You’ll be trying to get as many points and eliminate the targets in as many ways as you can .. trust me.  If the full game is anything like the Sniper Challenge, I’ll be one happy Hitman.

Borderlands 2 gameplay, check out the action!

Borderlands 2 is one of my most anticipated sequels and games this year.  I probably played the first game about 1.4 million times.  I was a lootin’ whore.  Gearbox Software seems to know exactly how to tickle my fancy because Borderlands 2 looks to be better than the first in every single way.

Check out more than 20 minutes of the Siren and Gunzerker class in action over at IGN.

Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge coming May 15

For once in your lives I think you need to pre-order a game!  Square Enix is making it really difficult to stick by any hatred of pre-ordering with the announcement of the Hitman: Sniper Challenge pre-order promotion with GameStop.

It’s a stand-alone sniper experience exclusively in North America for GameStop customers who pre-order HITMAN®: ABSOLUTION™.  The HITMAN: SNIPER CHALLENGE pre-order promotion will be available starting May 15, 2012.

HITMAN: SNIPER CHALLENGE is not part of the main game, but a stand-alone experience to reward fans who pre-order HITMAN: ABSOLUTION.  Players can don the suit of Agent 47 as he takes on an exclusive assassination assignment. From a balcony overlooking a rooftop gathering, players will be tasked with taking out Richard Strong, Jr., CEO of Stallion Armaments, along with his entire staff of bodyguards. Skilled players will capitalize on score multipliers, hidden secrets, unlock equipment upgrades and marvel at the many creative ways one can discretely dispose of a body while they work to fulfil their contract in the most efficient way possible.

This was one of my anticipated games this year and to hear about its delay is kind of disappointing. But on the other hand, if it means making a better game then I’m willing to wait. What say you? Are you happy, sad, mad, or just don’t care?
