IOI puts Giant Bomb Easter Egg in Hitman 2

SHEIK ZANZIBAR RIDES AGAIN!

@demoskinos: This is just the best.

That's Amazing !

Well now it HAS to win Game of the Year, right!? (I wouldn't be mad if it did...)

Ha! This is fantastic! We got a Best Moment winner right here!

Did you see what Sheik Zanzibar did?!

Fucking fantastic.

I've heard it said so many times that I had actually forgotten that Sheik Zanzibar isn't the canonical name of the character. Forgot that he's just a generic sheikh character.

We got Cook Serve Delicious, Don Bradman's Cricket, and now Hitman 2. Is there a concept page for this?

Wow, this is awesome.

"That's the magic of the Sahara right there"

Fucken Sheikh Zanzibar

Fuck this is great.

Giant Bomb is the best, and I am glad that game devs are taking notice finally. If Greg can get a shirtless spiderman in a game, then Giant Bomb deserves far better.

Can anyone link the video this is from?

@drzing:

I really hope there is extra challenge if you dress as the Sheikh plus carry around a fire axe.

Oh man, this is the best.

@bisonhero: Sheik Salman Al-Ghazali, its the same man from Paris but IOI have stopped using his name.

I gotta say, I saw this thread days ago, and I've played Miami dozens of times and reached very high mastery in it. Not fucking once have I seen Sheik Zanzibar, and it's bumming me out!

@gkhan: He's not in with the general public, even within the VIP areas, he's somewhere fairly exclusive to high status visitors, and he's not backstage anywhere he's chilling out meeting people and getting a little entertainment.

There is also this: "Codename Giant_B"

@rejizzle: What was the reference in Don Bradman? Do you have a link or picture?
