Since its launch in 2000, the Hitman franchise has experienced one reboot after another. It also inspired two films, one graphic novel, and an online slot. Gamers always differ on which Hitman game is the best but one thing is clear: it’s not the original. It’s an unfortunate occurrence. Hitman: Codename 47 introduced the incredible game to the world.

While fans of the Elder Scrolls Online are getting a bit spoiled with all the great content coming out for their beloved massive multiplayer online title, they are getting a bit more picky as well. This has been highlighted over the past week or so as reviews for The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr began to surface online. "It's a great looking expansion, but..."
