Saw a comment from someone saying they got it from Blockbuster, had a look at a few forums around the web and yup, seems a lot of places are selling it already.

Woolworths, Currys and Game are currently selling it.
Off to town at lunchtime then.

Hurrah

Shooting white cocknies is alright.
It's shooting Turban-wearing Terrorists that's a bad thing.

You could say the same to the high street stores that have banned Hitman.

Might be worth actually finding out a bit about the story, then!

I've seen an ad where a guy breaks into a room and shoots anything that moves. That's either indiscriminate slaughter or really bad warning shots.

Indiscriminate slaughter?

Do you actually know anything about this game?

Well had a look at the map that comes with it.
Cool.
Our studio is almost on it, Old Street is there and it's about a 30 sec walk so I'll have a looksee later on.
No idea what the game's like, havent even played the demo so it'll be a fresh look.

Review tonight when I get in from work

It sucks, well not totally sucks but it's not very good. Walking around is so damn crap and the combat is just bum faced rubbish. Give the guy a wheel chair and he'd be alright but as it is, it makes the game seem crap.

On another note I beat someone up and took his bus, which was cool.

Wish I had it now, but I won it so I can't really complain. At least it's finally being released though.
