Agent Joe is sent in to determine what happened with Agent 47. Does Hitman Absolution have what it takes to restart the franchise? Find out!
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.

I can see some people getting miffed at this score, but having watched a few of his reviews now, his 1-10 scale is much more balanced than the big guns like IGN.
Generally a 7/10 means average these days, but Angry Joe brands 5/10 average, which just plain makes sense when you're using a scale of 10. So 7/10 by that logic means its a damn good game that has a few pit falls.
I wish more reviewers would work like this, that way a 9 would actually mean something where people just expect 8' and 9's for every game or it's a "failure".
