The next Hitman game is being developed for PC and new-gen consoles. That’s all we know about it, or at least that’s all we knew until earlier when IO Interactive posted an open letter to the official Hitman website revealing a little more about the genesis of the game. It appears they’ve looked at feedback for Absolution and will be creating something to please both old and new fans. From the letter: The game concentrates on the core Hitman fantasy…

Sony have done quite a good job of stuffing a few familiar faces onto the PlayStation 4 at or close to launch. The Uncharted teaser has everybody chatting, while Killzone came out to strong fan reaction. inFAMOUS: Second Son is the next big AAA release, but it almost didn't happen. A Sucker Punch rep today said that they were considering building an entirely new IP altogether.

Dark Souls II is gearing up to be a great game for core gamers, and hopefully it'll manage to be just as tough as its predecessors. Here's the problem: a lot of core gamers have moved onto next-gen consoles and would probably quite like the bulk of their hobby to happen from the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Dark Souls II is only coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But hope is not yet lost.

You've got your nice shiny next-gen console, you've got a HDTV and your state of the art smartphone for second screen play. There's only one thing missing really, isn't there? Tetris.

Last week, Bethesda accidentally teased their fanbase with the unveiling of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One edition of Skyrim. The community went mad, some wondering why it was a necessary addition to new generation machines, others excited to once again explore a now refreshed, graphically improved land. Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen.

There are similarities between the various controllers on the market, but there are differences as well.

If you feel like you're in good company, owning a PlayStation 4, you're probably about right. Sony announced earlier this week that some 4.2 million consoles have been sold to consumers, an absolutely staggering amount considering the device has only been available for less than two months. When you think about the price and limited catalogue, it's hard not to see that Sony has done something right.

Looking for something to scare your socks off? Alien: Isolation looks like it might actually be that game, and while we've been disappointed by the IP before, SEGA look to have fixed things completely this time around. Horror? Check. Deadly aliens? Check. Unnecessary character link to previous entries? Check. Hell - it could even be a new entry in the film franchise.

There really aren't enough co-op multiplayer games around, to the point where Left 4 Dead manages to stand out basically unchallenged. They're fantastic games in their own right, especially if you have people to enjoy them with, but ultimately there isn't much competition.
