News Blimey: The Voice Of Agent 47 Outs "Gob Smacking" Hitman 5
It's been on the cards for a long time
IO might have tried their hand at some different titles - notably Kane & Lynch, though who could forget the surprisingly good Mini Ninjas? - but a new Hitman's always been on the cards.

News Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Gets The Launch Trailer Treatment
It drops next week
Square Enix has got the marketing bucks out big-time for this one; Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days' launch trailer may be a showy sequence of CGI, but, going by our hands-on with the game, it's a pretty good representation of the type of gritty action players can expect from the game.

Some artwork posted by Great Graphics (since removed) includes a poster of the skin-headed protagonist from the Hitman franchise and a 2011 date. Great Graphics worked with IO Interactive on Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, so it doesn't seem implausible that they'd be working on promotion art...
First Impressions Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days on PlayStation 3 Demo
Is it any good?
Kane & Lynch is a franchise that will long be marred by the controversy that took place outside of the product. The original game was a bit of a mess, with poor shooting mechanics taking centre stage in an interesting, but under-developed piece of fiction. Despite that, you'd be forgiven for thinking a sequel wasn't necessary...

First Impressions Mini Ninjas on Playstation 3
Mini Ninjas is a curious title
Coming from IO Interactive (synonymous with dark titles such as Kane & Lynch) it totally shuns the policy of dark and foreboding for something a little more family friendly. Mini Ninjas is a bright, anime-inspired title with an underlining family flare. The game opens on a ninja-training village where you're...
