The Tricks That Make Echo's Stealth Gameplay So Tense
The enemies in Echo copy any action that you perform until they’re highly dangerous walking death machines. Level design and smart enemy placement turn Echo’s stealth gameplay into something really special. I take a look in this critical video.

John Wick creator Derek Kolstad is writing the pilot script for a Hitman series for Hulu and Fox 21. Kolstad is also executive producing. No word how is starring or when the show will starting filming.

Hitman’s next Elusive Target, The Surgeons, will be available in Hokkaido for 7 days starting February 24. The optional objective, “eliminate both targets using viral infection,” sounds like a lot of fun.
Hitman’s next Elusive Target, The Warlord, will be available in Bangkok for seven days starting on February 10. I just got my roommate into this game and she’s excited to try her first target. I am excited to backseat drive so it isn’t my fault if I mess it up.
