Eurogamer Expo 2012: Hitman: Absolution Interview with Designer Torben Ellert

It might not be on the radar of every Adventure Gamer, but the latest game in the Hitman series - Hitman: Absolution is definitely a title that I am excited about. The Stealth genre does take a lot of ideas from traditional point and click games - such as timing, basic puzzles and a wide inventory of items at your disposal. These different elements aren't handled better than by iO Interactive, the makers of Hitman.

Hitman: Blood Money came out right at the end of the last generation of consoles, so it has been a long time since we last saw Agent 47 in action - what changes have been made ove rthe last five years? How will the addition of the exciting new online Contracts mode effect the evolution of the title?

I go straight to the source to try to get some answers, as I met with Contracts Designer Torben Ellert, at the Eurogamer Expo 2012. Read the full interview here.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Review

Some have been far more successful than others, but Frogwares have held the license for quite some time, and are now somewhat synonymous with the Deer-Stalker wearing Detective and his medical sidekick.

PC gamers and DS fans have had the chance to play many games made exclusively for their platform, but whilst there has been one or two ports to home consoles, Frogwares have never developed for them specifically. That is until now, as The Testament of Sherlock Holmes was developed from the ground up for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with controls and gameplay systems designed to make the most of control pad gameplay. How does this transition work however, and will the game find a market on the much faster-paced consoles, with an audience which is used to action.
