Hitman 2 goes a step further with its design. Mission stories make for more intriguing opportunities, peppering any of its magnificent stages with mystery, narrative and deliciously ironic assassination. Here are ten such instances, where Hitman 2 absolutely shines as a MacGuyver box of murder.

Electric engine vehicles are on the rise, and figuring out how to arrange some powerful batteries to fit into the agile frame of a motorcycle has been an incredible challenge for the industry. Harley Davidson reckons that they’ve got the problem solved, as they’ll be rolling out their first electric motorcycle in 2019 with the Livewire.

US president Donald Trump met with games industry executives and some of the most vocal critics in the land to discuss the fictional link between video games and violence. So how did the meeting start? With Trump pressing play on a sizzle reel of video game bloodshed.

Someone's to blame for America's recent spate of mass shootings that have claimed dozens of lives. And by someone, I mean the bigly and YUGE controversy that is video games. They’re the worst, totally. Listen to me, it’s going to be amazing how we solve this issue.

Freedom in video games is something that we take for granted, albeit what good is that freedom if it isn’t interesting. You can only admire salt plains for so long, you can only take notice of lush trees so many times. People make a land interesting, people make a nation what it is.

With entire armies of uber-soldates and gigantic cybernetic attack dogs at their disposal, the world was no match for a super-powered arms race that only Germany had the keys to.

The Crew finally started to gel together with Wild Run, as Ubisoft decided to apply those lessons to the first proper sequel to their racing game and double down on not only the social aspects but also the nuttery that drives people to love anything with a V8 engine.

Far Cry 3 really got the ball rolling with the introduction of antagonists such as Vaas and the stereotypically Souff Effriken Hoyt Volker. Far Cry 4 stepped up its villain game even further with Pagan Min, a charismatic leader whose only gal at the start of the fourth core game was to allow protagonist Ajay Ghale to spread the ashes of his deceased mother across the air currents of Kyrat. Far Cry 5’s lead villain is a bit different. Going by the name of Joseph, he’s a holy man on a quest to spread his gospel, one bullet at a time if necessary.
