How much for all levels then?

However much the base game is. If you want, you can pay to instantly unlock them all, otherwise you can just play the game and unlock them all by earning stars (finish the level, finish in x moves, find the hidden briefcase, etc.)

Yes, more than Apple. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/122459-1-5m-android-devices-activated-daily-1-billion-total-devices-on-horizon

Let me rephrase that for him: People actually expect companies to put their non-F2P games on android in 2014 when no one as ever downloaded a paid app on the platform ever?

Say what you will about the Hitman games, but they always had style.

So I didn't pay for Shadowrun Returns, The Room, and Max Payne? Werid. Where'd the money go then?

Okay, I'm 100% sure I've seen some of this before. Didn't they do an announcement trailer for this? I know this didn't come from no where all of a sudden. I distinctly remember this style.

£3 entry fee, IAP to unlock levels without playing the game (completely unnecessary yet a welcome option for some I'm sure). Perfect use of an IP and it's concepts on a touch device, and it looks gorgeous.

Mobile gaming done right.

The tilt shift doesn't seem to have made it into the game however.

@megabite10164: The IAPs are for hints and to unlock chapters. Thankfully they appear to be optional as you can progress through the game without them.

It does look stylish as hell. Perfect artistic direction for the technical limitations. Although the tilt shift isn't in the actual game, and there is more aliasing.

Is it just me or have a lot of game trailers taken a huge step forwards in terms of style this year? I don't think I watched a single trailer last year, but I feel like I've personally watched a ton of really cool ones this year so far, and I'm not entirely sure why.

Another great trailer, Mind: Path to Thalamus:

@thdemn: Same, here - played it at PAX and had a blast. Talked to the rep about micro-transactions and he seemed really bummed out about them, but claimed they were talking a pretty big risk with this game, especially with their lack of marketing.

For a second I thought it was an actual board game. Then I saw the little arrows at Agent 47's feet.

This (or that) didn't grab me at all.

That's all right, fits my regard for my new I phone. There is that other game that looks pretty good, if it is intended.

Hitman Go sounds like the name of a Pokemon. But poor jokes aside, this seems like a very creative take on Hitman.

Only if there was a martial artist by the name of Go. Otherwise, your joke is unfunny. Proven by science.

I'm sure it'll come out on PC, and even Android, eventually. That's been the trend with this "high profile" mobile games lately.

Just bought it and played it on the train. It gets challenging faster than expected. I love how simple the parameters are.

It's pretty good! I love the style and they got the feel of the series right too. On top of this it does handle quiet nicely. I even find the pricing appropriate (EU).

As usual it is, like all good iOS games turn based.

I love it.

@cerberus3dog: I feel there is a difference between miniatures and toys. Like would you call Warhammer figurines "toys"?

Technically, toys are non-human things, dolls are human figures. That was the subject of this whole case about import tax or something on X-Men action figures in the 90s. It ended up going to court and ruling since they were mutants they were classified as "toys". Thus, anti-mutant sentiment has already had precedent in the US.

@wsgexe: Uh, yeah, I do. I just have a nexus 7 to read comics and don't need some super expensive apple garbage to do that.
