Hitman Absolution Rips Off Red Dead Redemption In The Coolest Way

Last week, my friend and colleague Matt Cabral wrote up an excellent preview of Hitman Absolution for Kotaku. I was given the same demonstration as he by IO Interactive and Square Enix this week at CES and couldn’t agree with him more – the game is going to be absolutely bloody fantastic.
