There were a bunch of cross-overs with it, but the main thrust was something like a 7 or 9 episode mini-series. There's a Civil War II to be running this year as part of the follow-up.

A nice little point on writing... TOR - What We Don't Like to Mention

Just to spiral out of the way of hot vampire ladies and to sort of get back to politics...

Spent about 5 hours just replaying the Paris level on Hitman. All the variations you can pull. It's kind of interesting how the more variations you pull off and challenges you accomplish, the more options are available for how you start out when you replay that level. I think what they've tried to do (at least from the limited two training levels, and one actual level) is make each level pretty damn big, with a serious plethora of multiple assassinations possible. But because they're fairly chunky, they've established "Challenges" which pretty much list them as possible, so you then have to figure out how you actually achieve them within the game. The more challenges you complete, the more your "Mastery" of the level increases, which opens up options for where you start the level, possible gear to carry with you, if you get a disguise from the start, hidden caches of gear in the level, etc. Of course by using those, you can complete more of the Challenges which increases your Mastery and further provides options for replay... And so on and so forth.

There is something strangely amusing about this..

Hitman. Okay, I have to say, from the point of purely level design, damn they have the best of Hitman developed. It's back to to the good old days of some glorious multiple option levels with lots of pathways and effects you can push to finish things. The trouble is, storywise it's kind of sucky in that there's nothing there to really sink your teeth into yet. You get that training level which is the whole "20 years earlier" style of 47 joining the ICA, then the rather funky and cool montage sequence of time passing and references to previous Hitman games, and then the Paris level which, again, on level terms is rather damn good. But you don't get that much feel for an overall story beginning yet.

More for the simple amusement rather than an outright funny..

Oh if anyone feels like Hitman, Greenman Gaming have that 25% voucher going with it at the moment.
