How do you intimdate your opponent as a boxing pre-fight press conference that'll inevitably involve two very large people staring into each others' eyes like long-lost lovers at some point? Well, if you're Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, the answer apparently is to dress up as Agent 47 from the Hitman series, complete with bald head and handy briefcase.
]]>When Ian Fleming first delivered James Bond to readers in 1953, Agent 007 arrived ready and raring to go. Casino Royale isn’t one of those novels that flitters about trying to slowly layer and build its protagonist into their ultimate form - Bond just already is that. In fact, it’s crucial to the narrative of the novel that Bond is an experienced agent, the best card player in the service, and trusted.
]]>Get this - Conor McGregor, yeah the loud Irish guy of MMA and, er, other stuff fame is coming to Hitman World of Assasination as Agent 47 next big elusive target. I bet the bald guy'd be scared too, if he didn't have access to guns that kind of make it a bit pointless having a lethal rear naked choke.
]]>Xbox has taken the cover off the next batch of titles coming to Game Pass as January draws to a close and we kick on into February (don’t worry the speed at which time moves scares me too).
]]>In a year of wall to wall bangers, with at least one genuine GOTY candidate coming along every week, it’s surely impossible to pick one overall game of the year. So you should disregard any website that tries, and just listen to us. Elevating any one entry on 2023’s golden roster would do a disservice to all the others, and we don’t want to do that. Instead, we’d rather mug them all off and give our GOTY nod to the GOAT: Kane & Lynch 2 colon Dog Days. Yes, the notoriously bad shooter from the Hitman lads. Confused? Think this is some kind of joke? It’s not, as explained in the video below, featuring special guest Steve Burns who used to be on a certain other website with a devoted cult following (no idea what happened to it, sadly).

It requires a bit of explaining, but basically now the entire trilogy now lives inside Hitman 3, which itself has been rebranded Hitman: World of Assassination. The other two games will be delisted from storefronts to avoid confusion. This probably wasn’t the plan at the start – back when Hitman 2016 was an ill-advised episodic jaunt for Square Enix – but it’s a smart and fitting close to this saga: one huge game, flush with content, all available at a very reasonable price.
