It's hard to deny the appeal of Hitman: Codename 47 . What action fan hasn't wanted to slip into the suit of a diamond-hard assassin-for-hire equally adept at both stealthy hits and all-out assaults? Hitman certainly provides you with the tools of the trade, offering everything from piano wire and silenced pistols to bull-pup submachine guns and predator-style miniguns. It also lets you perform many of the tricks of the trade, like stealing your enemy's clothes and dragging bodies away so roving patrols won't stumble onto them and get curious. Unfortunately, heavily scripted level design and some fairly dumb enemies get in the way of the fun, forcing players to rely more on memorization than quick reactions. Be prepared to play each level several times just to figure out exactly how to accomplish your objectives, and several times after that to successfully carry them out. At least there was a lot to look at as we repeated each level. Hitman has some of the most beautiful graphics ever placed Less

BioShock is a unique game that mixes a spine-chilling setting illustrated with art deco art and architecture, sci-fi themes of bio-genetic mutation and self-modification, a deep storyline with open-choice freedom to interact with the world as you choose, and first-person action that requires you to think every time you pull the trigger. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn Less

Hitman: Brains AND Brawn.

byAlkaiser Dec 3, 2000
67 Helpfuls 68 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great action, thinking required instead of just shooting.
Cons Graphics not up to snuff, pop-up in the game engine.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm in the midst of what I like to call "too much game" syndrome. Thanksgiving weekend, I was kicking back the day after prepping a huge turkey, and all the other stuff, watching Junkyard Wars and playing FF9.

Then my pal Nobby swings by and drops of the game that would divide up my... Read full review »

Instructions for how to be a Hitman.

27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Graphics, Physics, Concept, Realism, and More!
Cons Bad keyboard layout. Frame hits when you need it the smoothest.
Recommended it? Yes

This game can be considered training software to be a hired killer. This isn't a parental warning, this is a compliment. Playing this game can actually teach you about how various assault weapons work, about lining up a sniping rifle, and various techniques to infiltrate the enemy like switching... Read full review »

In Bioshock, the latest 3D action game from 2K games, something is rotten in the city of Rapture. Shortly after surviving a plane crash, the player finds himself descending via a bathysphere from a lighthouse to the submerged city of Rapture.

No sooner does the player arrive at Rapture,... Read full review »

Pros Original story, great graphics, atmospheric.
Cons Game is short. A bit predictable storyline.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been addicted to this game since my wife convinced me to buy it. The idea was that we would play through it together as we did with Gabriel Knight, Fatal Frame, and the classic horror game Phantasmagoria. Of course, I did not end up waiting on her.

It's a creepy game, full of... Read full review »
