Brink

Brink is a new fps (first person shooter) released by Splash Damage. The game takes place in the future when the world is flooded. Because of the mass flooding of the world a floating city called the Ark was built to house the remaining population. After many years the Ark starts to degrade and the game portrays you as either a rebel trying to escape the Ark or a security officer trying to stop the rebellion. The game features a SMART feature that allows you to use parcore to travel across the city adding a new element to fire fights. The game has been recieved fairly well and I can't wait to play.

Agent 47 Returns


One of my favorite video game franchises is the Hitman series. The series has you playing the super bald super assassin only refered to as Agent 47. The game always involves you(Agent 47) completing a series of assignments/contracts which eventually intertwine at the end causing some big moment to happen. The game is a stealth shooter, meaning that you can either complete the missions using cloak and dager style or kick in the front door and kill everyone, big fun. The last game released was Hitman: Blood Money in 2006. It had been the best Hitman game to date, but it was only for the Xbox and PS2, but later came out for the current gene concoles with revamped graphics. Just recently a new Hitman was announced, Hitman: Absolution. A teaser trailer was released and all that is known is someone screwed 47 over, and now he's being chased by the police and that he's taking on his most dangerous assignment yet. Can't wait for this gem to come out.
