These newly released Hitman Absolution screens, show off some very nice visuals, especially for the Hitman series, though 47 being on a small ledge in the sky is slightly troubling given that he’s not supposed to be an acrobat like that Creed guy, but we can assume there’s a hatch above that ledge or something that he dropped down from.

What’s truly troubling is that, while Hitman will be appearing at E3, it will only be behind closed doors to the press.

Now of course this could simply be what they think is the best way to build the hype, it could also mean they don’t have full confidence in their game, and need to limit any public scrutiny, and god forbid take notes from the biggest dumbest members of the press, IGN employees for example.

If they screw up this series I say we dig up Aeris and kill her again.

Sony dropped some screenshots from the upcoming Move edition of Heavy Rain. It looks like these will just be the equivalent of waggle instead of a button press, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be using the full range of motion the Move is supposed to offer, but that’s to be expected for a patch to an already released game.

Also, a small tidbit, but this is the first I’ve seen the trigger button on the Move controller referred to as the T button.

EA finally released some media for the Alice sequel Alice: Madeness Returns. It looks like the real deal, the same atmosphere and style with a modern graphical upgrade. The teaser trailer is short, but shows us that they won’t be holding back on the weird for the sake of grabbing the mainstream audience, This is a true sequel to a flawed classic of PC gaming.

This game is clearly trying to look as much like Super Mario Galaxy as possible, but it has it’s own world flipping mechanic, and it looks pretty decent. I just hope they replace the coins with gems or energy blobs or something less blatantly Marioesque.
