Today, we break into the White House to stop the president from killing the Vice President:
With the exception of the tutorial, which is only linear so that it can teach players about the game's mechanics, this is the worst, most linear level in the entire game.

Today, we finish up our Vegas activities.
Another thing this mission highlights is the thrill of system/simulation-driven design. Every NPC in this mission has a set routine, and the player succeeds by recognizing those routines and exploiting them, either with disguise. Though he spoke about it in the context of Deus Ex, Mark Brown and Game Maker's Toolkit did a great video on it here.

Kingdom Hearts Primer: Kingdom Hearts 1: Episode 12: Sacrifices
Today, we talk about one of the most legendary scenes in Kingdom Hearts 1:
I've talked about my feelings regarding how Kingdom Hearts' combat feels more plausible than that of its sequels way back when I thought I was good at writing game reviews without scores. (Also, holy shit, that was two years ago.) Generally, the more like DBZ fight scenes become, the more I detached I get from the anime/game I'm watching/playing. There's nothing wrong with those kinds of fights, and they look really cool, but they don't have the same weight to me.
The other thing we really need to talk about is Kairi's place in the game.

newdarkcloud plays Hitman: Blood Money - Episode 10: Part 1 - The Devil is in the Details
Today, we return to Vegas in order to have a party.
This mission is a great example of how Hitman uses it's disguise system to create interesting scenarios. Each section of the level is governed by it's own set of disguises. In a sense, you can treat each costume as a "key" to getting to a different part of the level.
Shame I screw up so bad that I kinda ruin it.

You know what they say: What happens in Vegas stays in body dumps!
Back when Hitman: Absolution came out, people (rightfully) got angry over some of the strange marketing decisions made. Most notable, was the reveal of The Saints, assassins in bondage suits who disguised themselves as nuns.
