Ah, Hitman: Absolution. A Square Enix game that is ported to the PC by Nixxes. Awesome, right? After all, Nixxes was behind the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a version that featured a lot of graphical options, a FOV slider, and took advantage of quad-cores.

Therefore, we were expecting Hitman: Absolution to blow us away. However, it did not. And did you know that the PC version suffers from console optimizations? Oh, you didn’t know that, right? Well keep reading to find out why Hitman: Absolution PC is not as good as DE: HR, Max Payne 3 or Sleeping Dogs. Continue reading Hitman: Absolution – PC Performance Analysis→

A Tomb Raider game in which our heroine regenerates (magically) her health and can’t swim. Oh the irony of crafting a game in a way to please casual gamers. Continue reading New Tomb Raider Details – 12-15 SP Length, Regenerating health system, Lara can’t swim→
