Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun: "Hitman: Absolution" And the Upcoming "Sniper Challenge" DLC
Posted 5/10/12 10:00 am EST by Charles Webb in DLC, News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Starting May 15th, when you preorder Hitman: Absolution from Gamestop, you'll be able to unlock and play The Hitman Sniper Challenge DLC on the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360. This "standalone experience" will place you in the well-polished shoes of Agent 47 as he takes aim at businessman Richard Strong from a sniper's nest overlooking a rooftop party. In this arcade-style mode, you'll stealthily take out members of Strong's entourage through your scope as you try to find and eliminate the big man himself (along with unlocking score multipliers and equipment upgrades).
Well, we wanted to know more about this new piece of DLC, so we spoke with Cord Smith, Product Marketing Director for Hitman: Absolution for Square Enix.

Space Quest Creators Want to Make 'SpaceVenture' With Your Help via Kickstarter
Posted 5/9/12 5:30 pm EST by MTV Video Games in Mac, News, PC
By Jeffrey Matulef
Space Quest series creators Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy have returned to the games industry after an over two decade hiatus under their new label, Two Guys from Andromeda. Their first project, SpaceVenture, just began its Kickstarter campaign.
SpaceVenture will be a "space adventure" game in the vain of Space Quest. Two Guys From Andromeda have already roped in an all-star voice cast consisting of GLaDOS voice actress, Ellen McClain, the voice of Space Ghost, Gary Owens, and ubiquitous cartoon voice actor, Rob Paulsen (Wakko from Animaniacs, Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
The Eugene, OR-based outfit seeks $500,000 by Jun 12th to fund the project. The Kickstarter has been up less than a day and as of writing this they've amassed $78,587 in pledges. Donating $15 or more guarantees access to a DRM free version of the game upon its release, while a pledge of $30 or more will grant access to the beta and digital soundtrack.
If funded, SpaceVenture will be developed for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, and Android tablets with a tentative release date of February, 2013.
Between this and the already funded Kickstarters for adventure game veterans Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight), Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry), and Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango) one wonders if this could bring about a second renaissance of the genre. Here's hoping anyway.

The Master Chief's return will be heralded with arts! In a book!

The book will be released on November 2nd and retail for $29.95, a little under a week before the release date of Halo 4, which streets November 6th. In addition to Titan's art book, we have a live-action web series to look forward to. And if you want to catch up on your Halo history, Greg Bear's Primordium: Book Two of the Forerunner Saga was released back in January.
