The Breakdown: Hitman: Agent 47 Official 1st Trailer
No matter how angry the last game in the series made me for constantly corrupting my save file so that I would have to start all over after I had already almost reached the end of the main campaign, I still love the Hitman series. I even liked the last film with Timothy Olyphant. So […]
