Look, it's already pretty clear that the folks at IO Interactive like a particularly adolescent style of joke-making, what with the closet-humping and all. But the latest effort at promoting the Square Enix published game invites you to fling their poor taste at your Facebook friends. It's pretty tacky.

The video game industry isn't all fast cars and trips to Japan. For every studio head basking in the glow of media attention there are 100 developers lower down the food chain whose job can be a little more mundane.

The next Hitman title is just around the corner, releasing this coming Tuesday. We all know what Conan O'Brien thinks of the title, but maybe you're still curious about the stealth game that approaches.

The Hitman series has long been about choice-bald-headed 47 was set loose inside a semi-sandbox with a target or two, and players could come up with any of a number of ways to do away with them.

The new Hitman game probably has the right difficulty level for you. After all, it's got five of them... one for the person who likes to shoot first and sneak sometimes, one for the person who doesn't want to bend one blade of grass en route to murdering his virtual prey, and three for the rest of the world.

This sizable chunk of gameplay footage highlights Hitman: Absolution's user-generated content feature. In the new Contracts Mode, players can craft and distribute specific missions for each other within the single-player levels.

Hitman: Absolution's E3 2012 trailer depicting Agent 47 brutally dispatching a group of killers dressed as sexy nuns caused quite a stir. People called it exploitatitive. People called it misogynistic. In the latest in a series of ICA Profile videos for the game, an unseen bureaucrat agrees with these assessments.

Hitman's E3 trailer, which showed a squad of sexy ladies dressed as nuns being slowly and methodically beaten to a pulp, created a bit of stir.

The Italian retail site 16Games has listed a PS3 HD collection for the Hitman series. The Hitman Triple Pack will reportedly include Silent Assassin, Contracts and Blood Money.
