No matter which way you slice it, IO Interactive’s Hitman 2 is a miracle. Getting from your starting point to the eventual finish line that is your target, is where the game shines as players need to move between disguises and locations if they want to complete a contract. Doing so also means that you’re going to be using everything from rat poison to screwdrivers to incapacitate anyone who stands in your way. Or if the going gets tough, you could have used the hilarious homing briefcase that Agent 47 carried around with him

Love it or hate it, but if Activision can sell an entire Titanic’s worth of Call of Duty every single year then they must be doing something right. While the campaign mode of this year’s Modern Warfare wants to shine a serious light on war, it may be at odds with the multiplayer component of the package which is looking to emphasise a number of new factors within its DNA.

That habit of grabbing September for the launch of a new Destiny chapter is going to be slightly delayed, as the Shadowkeep expansion and the free-to-play Destiny 2: New Light will be shifting from the original release date of September 17 to October 1.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is looking to distance itself from previous gung-ho campaigns that saw you spending a weekend as an action hero and focusing more on the idea of war being a terrible thing, the multiplayer side of the equation might also have a few new tricks up its sleeves.

Mortal Kombat may have seen its fair share of action since it came out a few months ago, but the journey is far from over! With Shang Tsung have recently resurfaced to menace Earthrealm, it looks like our planet is going to need some magic of our own in order to survive. So how do you fight sorcery? With a shaman that wields exotic magic and some good old-fashioned steel.

Bugger going outside, I’m staying to play me some games. It’s a good thing that August has a few gems on the horizon then, as Astral Chain looks like several power fantasies rolled into one, World of WarCraft goes for a classic re-release and Remedy returns with Control.

Hitman 2's latest Sniper Assassin map may be heavy on snow and old Soviet Union symbolism, but it's another chapter in what could be the best sniping game of all time.

A game that aimed to support up to 1000 players at any given time and still find room to throw 400 maniacs together into a battle royale mode? Ambitious to say the least, but the early results looked promising and the technology behind Mavericks seemed more than capable of delivering on that promise. Unfortunately, there’s no winner winner chicken dinner on the finish line for the project, as Mavericks has been all but cancelled.
