First Hitman: Absolution review is in

The first official review for the upcoming Hitman: Absolution is in, and the Official Xbox Magazine has given the game a solid rating of 9/10.

According to the review, the game also retains “everything that fans have ever loved about the series”.

This is good news! The game looks great as it is, and the fact that the first review in is positive is very encouraging.
