Gamin' NEWS! Shooters and adventurers, ahoy!

On today's program, sequels!
Hitman is finally back, The Darkness gets a numero dos, and Larry will come back soon...
Hitman is BACK! Looking mighty badass in Hitman: Absolution!



I can't wait to see Agent 47 back in full HD glory this time around.
I loved the previous games, besides some technical problems that prevented me from ever finishing Contracts, they were very good games worth exploring.
You could playing it guns ablazing or more tactical like a professional stealth assassin. Great games!


Here's a sequel nobody was asking for, from a game most didn't even knew about...
The Darkness II is a sequel to 2007's The Darkness, which was in fact an adaptation from a Top Cow comic. The original game was a pretty good title developed by Vin Diesel's own gaming studio Starbreeze. This time around 2K Games got Digital Extremes to make this one, and it's scheduled to be released in February 2012.



Looking pretty fun actually!


On the Adventure side of gaming genres (sounds like a mouthful, right?), here's a new trailer for the upcoming Jurassic Park game:



This one has a lot on its shoulders. Not regarding to its quality. But the fact that most games based on JP thus far have been solid pretty good titles in their own.
From the 8 bits to the 16 bits and even the park builder title on PC from a couple years back, most of them if not all have been fantastic games so far!
Will this be the weak link of the family?


And finally, Leisure Suit Larry.

The popular classic Larry franchise from the good ol' Sierra On-Line days will make a come back in our HD era.

[Above: More than two decades and seven Windows OS later...]
Replay Games  was able to obtain the rights to the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, thanks to the fact that Activision didn't pick up the rights back after the closure of Vivendi Universal.
And they will re-release the original series, as well as start working on all new adventures, beginning in 2012, the year that marks the series’ 25th anniversary.

And if that wasn't enough, they even brought back series creator Al Lowe on board!
You can read more on Lowe back on the series here on EGM Now.

After Vivendi Universal took the rights off Al Lowe hands after the successful LSL7, they made one simpler cheaper LSL: Magna Cum Laude and another even worse LSL: Box Office Bust that made the former look like an award winning AAA-title game in comparison...
Will the series be back in right and due form?

Check out the first screens of this remake!

BEST NEWS of the year!! Yeah!
I hope it's well animated, as good or better than LSL7 was.
I'm fearing a cheap flahs-like budget remake...

The first of these remake is scheduled for release sometime early next year, on most system (so I'm guessing, Wiiware, Xboxlive, PSN, Steam, iPhone/Pad/Pod, etc..) and the sequels will follow depending on the success of this one.
