I’ve been playing all of them as they come out. There’s plenty to do on each level, and the Elusive Targets and other bonus episodes have kept me entertained between levels too. If they’d released them all at once, I’d have rushed through levels instead of actually bothering to do as much as possible in each one.

Totally agree. I’ve played every game in the series (except 1) and never dedicated NEARLY as much time to ANY level as I have to EVERY level so far in this game. The urge to keep pushing forward and see the whole game was too great, and I’d end up only scratching the surface. More than most other series, each level in…

This model actually works well for the kind of game Hitman is.

There was a simmering anger about people like me — "Social Justice Warriors", as they call us — who are asking for change in the game industry: a better, broader representation of characters, among other things. We're "the cancer that's killing games", and Kotaku is seen as the key enemy site, with Polygon a close…

My first reaction was that this would go nowhere... then I actually read their brief letter and found that it doesn't say anything that the title implies. Rather than addressing gamers as a community of douchebags (a la the way everyone does it), this letter simply asks that normal people report said douchebags...…

Carmack can easily leave and go just about anywhere he damn well pleases. He is an unrivaled wizard in the world of gaming. He wouldn't still be there if he didn't think it was a good idea.

UPDATE - Looks like Battlefield 4 is down as well.P

Well that franchise is doomed.

... they would be Appleture Laboratories.
