    Eminem comes to Hitman in a promotional opportunity that feels at least a year late! Also, Sektori seems to be very red, Timesplitters gets a cool new fangame, the Xbox 360 turns 20, Far Cry gets a TV series, Black Ops 7 sales seem down (and with good reason), and the Steam Machine is certainly not going to be like 400 bucks.

    Time to take a big hit of whatever this evil red gas is and talk about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. They say it’s the biggest Call of Duty ever, which is probably true? Kind of a big mess, really. Also: Valve is back in the box-making game and it’s exciting! The Game Awards nominees are announced, Final Fantasy XI’s dev environment is updated, and that GameTap Lady Sovereign video came up yet again. Learn more about your ad choices.
