Hitman 3 — Bald and Brazen
Hitman 3 continues the freedom-of-choice formula that has made its series so successful and drops our clean-shaven anti-hero into a myriad of new environments and moral choices. Does he succeed in his mission, or does this third entry in…

Poker Club — All In or Bust
When Poker Club renders correctly it’s even more unfortunate that the poker is only “OK”. The basics are there. Dealing, blinds, bets etc. etc. but there’s no feeling in it.
