Agent 47, everyone's favourite hired killer, makes a welcome return this summer, and we tracked down Rasmus Hojengaard, game director at IO Interactive, for a Hitman: Blood Money interrogation.
Born in a secret lab and genetically engineered to be a ruthless killer, Agent 47 uses his shadowy ties to an unknown agency to acquire missions - and for the first time, we'll finally be able to earn cash for killings and blow it on gleaming metal murder-tools.

Following the recent sad but inevitable news that Sony has finally stopped PSone production, GamesRadar felt it only right to take a look back at the seminal console's 10 most important games.
The following titles were all, without doubt, hugely important in the console's transition from newcomer to market leader, to cultural icon. No other gaming machine has had such a long lifespan (over a decade as a viable platform), nor introduced so many to gaming for the first time.
So why not dig out
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion breathes the rarified air of the “upgrade game,” a title so huge (and so demanding of your PC's horsepower) that you might have to buy new hardware just to enjoy it. Like two other "upgrade games," Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2, this fourth Elder Scrolls RPG is a first-person game at heart. Hitting your target means precision aiming and good timing, just like in a shooting game. This also means your PC must deliver smooth animation (tech-y guys will
Sony Computer Entertainment President Phil Harrison took the stage on Wednesday to talk PS3 and PSP with a huge, unruly crowd on Wednesday. His presentation, part of the Game Developers Conference, raised almost as many questions about the next-gen console as it answered. Two things are clear, though: Sony is laser-focused on online functionality, and the PS3 is an impressive chunk of hardware.
The thrust of Harrison's speech centered on Sony's "Beyond the Box" strategy (detailed at Sony's
An online, handheld deathmatch is about to take over your Nintendo DS. Metroid Prime Hunters is just a few days away, and its seven tough-as-nails bounty hunters (heroine Samus included) are going to do everything in their armor-cracking, shape-shifting power to put you under. Curious as to how it is you're going down?
From the official Hunters website:
"Samus Aran is well known throughout the galaxy as an efficient and experienced bounty hunter. Few other hunters can compete with Samus' long
For some players, The Sims' Build Mode is an entire game. In fact, for a special few - who we like to call builders - it's the only game. It's a real eye-opening experience for us who make this game to see how far the systems we create can be pushed. It's also a testament to the ingenuity, not to mention the persistence, of the builders out there who have a vision and use Build Mode to realize that vision.
It would be simply impossible to talk about all the mind-blowingly cool buildings that
Leave it to Ken Kutaragi, the mad scientist Sony calls the Father of the PlayStation, to drop a bombshell. The wait for new information about Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 console has been long in coming, but Mr Kutaragi has finally broken Sony's corporate-wide silence about the new machine - and his words are leaving craters.
The first bit of info? The PlayStation 3 will not launch in Spring 2006, as originally planned. Granted, calendar-savvy folks gamers who've noticed that it's already
We recently had the chance to sit down with Reflections, the creators of Driver, and satisfy our curiosity about their next game in the car-action series, Driver Parallel Lines.
If you don't already know, undercover cop Tanner - the star of all three previous games - has been dropped, and in his place is TK, a man very much on the opposite side of the law.
After the disappointment of Driver 3 we wanted to know what Reflections thought was going to make Driver Parallel Lines a return to form
