Hitman is Getting a Holiday Update

IO Interactive released a free Hitman holiday update trailer this week called “Holiday Hoarders”. The update will roll out new challenges every week in the month of December. This update is in spirt of giving, IO Interactive is releasing this update to support The World Cancer Research Fund. Hitman is one of my favorite games released this year, it took me awhile to realize that.

The Holidays are for giving and Hitman has given us so many funny and enjoyable moments, so lets’ try to give back. The World Cancer Research Fund was the developers’ charity of choice, if anyone would like to donate here is the link the website

The “Holiday Hoarders” update is held in Paris at a Christmas themed fashion show. During the mission, presents will be scattered around the map, which leaves the opportunity for greedy thieves. Securing the presents before the thieves find them first will give you a random weapon that will assist you in your mission.

December is the month of Hitman

Week 1: This update released on Thursday (December 8^th). As the challenge states, “Master Sniper” Challenge pack will give the players five new sniper-related challenges, completing them all will entitle you to a “Jaeger7 Covert” Sniper Rifle.

Week 2: This update will implement the “Holiday Hoarder” mission, with an elusive target in Sapienza. The update is slated to release on December 12 - 18.

Week 3: The third update is light on content and will release on December 19 - 25. The only thing that they’re adding is a new escalation contract in Sapienza. Escalations are missions that require a specific assassination, then builds up when completing the mission.

Week 4: From December 26 - 31 another elusive target will be available, this time in Bangkok.

Hitman was the biggest surprise in 2016 for many, with The Full Experience having all the content being a reason for this. Even though Hitman Season 1 has ended, updates and elusive targets are still coming out to the game. The continued support Hitman keeps people playing, and while there is no release date for Season 2 Hitman fans are eagerly awaiting it.

Mario Tennis Aces “Swing Mode” is Really Disappointing

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest entry to the Mario Tennis series. This time around Nintendo did no wrong with their tennis series giving us an adventure mode where you move from level to level to complete a series of challenges, a fun online/offline tournament, and exciting local play. I haven’t played the Mario Tennis series since the GameCube days, but I’m having as much fun as I did back then, expect for one mode that made me hate motion controls. During the lead up to launch I had questions about full motion controls, if they would support it for full matches? Can it be an alternative? and will it be like Wii Sports or will it have depth will in the base game? These questions were answered just a couple of days before launch and I was disappointed in how Nintendo implemented the motion controls. Coming from the developers of Wii Sports and how well the motion controls worked with the tennis mini-game gave me hope that Nintendo could do something great with motion ...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Destiny 2 #3

There was a lot of excitement for the Bungie ’s second go around with Destiny 2 . There was a lot of controversy over what was changed and what didn’t return from the first Destiny . At first the changes were for the better, it allowed new players to finally wrap their head around the system that was difficult to process in original Destiny. Rising reputation with an NPC is one change that was assessable newcomers. In Destiny 1 it always felt like a chore, because of the bounty system. This system made it a more difficult task due to the action associated with the bounty – this can range from headshots with a sniper in PvP to complete 3 strikes. With Destiny 2 , the reputation is more streamline with turn-in tokens. Earning these tokens are common and I great resource of gear/weapons when you’re first starting out. These tokens are associated with each planet. Its great Bungie is listening to the players and in doing so, made an assessable loot shooter for the ca...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Horizon Zero Dawn #2

Watching this game for the first time at E3 my jaw dropped at the stunning visuals, the world its trying to create and, most important are the amazingly designed mechanize dinosaurs. When I heard that the developers of Killzone were making this game, it made me a little warry. Hearing that this is an open world 3 rd person RPG – these were not the type of games Guerrilla Games developed. Guerrilla was always known for their tight first-person shooting, and for them to make something out of their comfort zone could be something special or something that had promise but flopped. It’s great to say that Horizon Zero Dawn was an amazing accomplishment for Guerilla Games this year and year to come. Horizon’s Open World is Lush and Lively The world in Horizon is so interesting and full of mysteries it keeps you wondering for most of the game. As the game goes on you learn more about Aloy’s (Main character) past and how she is tied within the world. The cities and se...
