Thanks David of 8BallsHW for mailing me about his review you might be interested in.

"Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the sequel to Hitman: Codename 47 by the Danish game developers IO Interactive. While Hitman: Codename 47 did garner quite an interest in the gaming community, it was quite a disappointment due to major flaws in the game; odd game controls and a number of bugs were among them. Fortunately IO Interactive have learned from those mistakes and managed to iron out all the problems, and the result is an amazing gameplay experience that is among the best in recent shooters."

Killer7 is a new action adventure planned for Japanese release on the Nintendo GameCube from director Gouichi Suda, produced by Shinji Mikami. The main character is a wheelchair-bound old man, named Kun Lan, who happens to be an assassin with seven different personalities. Some refer to Kun Lan as God Hands. Also, each of God Killer's different personalities will have special powers that must be used to move through the game as he pursues God Hands. This game will be released winter 2003 in Japan. An European date has not been announced as of yet.

Capcom Japan also unveiled plans to release Biohazard 4 for the GameCube. Not much is known about the game at this time other than that it will star Leon S. Kennedy, who appeared in Resident Evil 2. The company's info on the game states that the story will take place "deep inside the very heart of Umbrella." A release date for the game is still to be announced.

As part of Capcom's Japanese announcements, the company has revealed plans to produce a new GameCube game called Viewtiful Joe. The game is said to be a side-scrolling action game that stars a superhero. Viewtiful Joe is scheduled to hit Japanese shelves in the spring of 2003.

Also one of the announced games is Dead Phoenix, a action adventure game. Director Hiroki Kato says he wants to create that "flying like the bird" feeling in this game. What he exaclty mean with that, we don't know. This is game is set for a release in summer 2003.

Finally, there is the game Product Number 03, an an action game starring a female soldier named Vanessa Z. Schneider. it is being said that she's a mercenary armed with a high-powered laser--and she's a robot killer. Robots at a colonial settlement have gone wild on a nearby planet, and it's up to Vanessa to stop them. This game is set for a Japanese release Spring 2003.

I have this game and I haven't managed to beat the second level. I got bored of it. It wants you to sneak around, but that just gets boring. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is still my fav. 1st person shooter.

This game rules. I like the graphics, the music, the whole feel and look of the game. Great story too, I wish they had more diverse assignments.

I've already finished the game on "Expert". Very nice game. BTW. Some of the comments in the review isn't correct.
