When players are given a chance to play as one of the deadliest assassins in the world, most of them spend time figuring out all the neat little ways they can go about killing everyone in the area with every tool at their disposal. But before you do that, perhaps you should remember that there is a story to be told in Square Enix’s Hitman: Absolution and this latest developer diary tells you exactly how they managed to create an immersive storyline to surround all of the deathdealing.
They also demonstrate a full performance motion capture at Giant Studios in Los Angeles, California and how they had to create some new smoking techniques for one of the characters in the game. Check out the video itself below.
Upcoming game, Cargo Commander, published by Digital Tribe Games is coming out on the first of November, 2012.

On the game, the developers had this to say –
The developer says…
“It’s a game that lets you know what dads do when they are off to work. I doubt my dad was slaying mutants and blowing up stuff when he was on a late shift, but I’ll never know.”
Maarten de Koning, Managing Director at Green Hill says…
“We’re excited to bring Digital Tribe Games and Serious Brew together on this amazing journey to outer space! The creative freedom for the developer was an important goal for us, and collaborating with Digital Tribe Games proved to be a good fit. Now all gamers around the world can enjoy this truly unique title on Mac and PC.”
The title will be releasing on the Steam service for both Windows PC and Mac platforms. It will sell for $9.99 and is being regarded as an action-platformer. Be sure to check out the trailer below for more info.

It looks like Compile Heart is working on a PlayStation Vita game of some sort, as Game Jouhou is reporting that this week’s copy of Famitsu contains information about a Vita game from Compile Heart that is being called Monster Monpiece. A website for the game has also been launched and can be found here.
Currently there is little information about what the game will involve, though it seems that it is an original IP of some sort. The game itself will apparently feature a chibi art style and involve “rubbing, pinching and poking.” Given Compile Heart’s history for risque games, perhaps this is one of the first ecchi type titles for the Vita? Well from the image seen above and shown on the game’s teaser website, this is a yes.

The incredibly popular Serious Sam 3 for PC garnered much critical acclaim amongst fans and reviewers alike. The epic 16 player Campaign co-op being just one of the reasons for its incredible popularity.

For an extra 1200 Points, players will also get the Jewel of the Nile campaign expansion, as well as the Deathmatch, Last Team Standing, Capture the Flag and My Burden competitive game modes.
“Ever since we announced Serious Sam 3: BFE our fans have asked us to bring the game to Xbox LIVEArcade,” said Davor Hunski, Chief Creative Guy at Croteam. “Boom. Done.”
Also including 25 achievements and classic leaderboards, this package seems like the perfect way for Xbox 360 players to finally get into the game.
“Awesome, now I can go from getting absolutely annihilated by some loudmouth with a mouse and keyboard to getting annihilated by some loudmouth with an Xbox 360 controller,” said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO. “Damn these silky smooth thumbs.”
