PSA: Do Not Buy Amy

http://www.destructoid.com/psa-do-not-buy-amy-today-219488.phtml Rare is the occasion where I feel I have to "spoil" my review before it goes live, but I feel it's my civic duty to warn you not to buy AMY on Xbox Live today. Despite very promising trailers and details, it turns out that AMY is already a shoe-in for the worst game of the year. (Jim Sterling)

Razer Shows Off Their Sexy Gaming Tablet Concept

http://www.destructoid.com/ces-razer-shows-off-their-sexy-gaming-tablet-concept-219427.phtml Here at CES Razer is teasing their Project Fiona gaming tablet, and it is a very sexy thing. They say to forget that general use, underpowered tablet you already have, as this baby is made for PC gaming, powered by Intel's Core i7 processor. This system will run PC games natively, skipping the need for porting and optimization. (Dale North)

Sony Isn't Planning to Announce a New Console at E3

http://www.destructoid.com/ces-sony-isn-t-planning-to-announce-a-new-console-at-e3-219445.phtmlWith rumors about the next game consoles intensifying over these past months, it feels like 2012 might finally be the year when Microsoft and Sony let the details slip. But not everyone is so optimistic, and in the case of Sony, nothing is in the pipeline for E3. (Jordan Devore)

Interview: Hitman Absolution

http://www.destructoid.com/dtoid-show-interview-io-devs-talk-hitman-absolution-219441.phtmlEver since I first saw Hitman Absolution at E3 last year, it's been firmly planted on my want-list for 2012. The old games were very firmly rooted in the stealth genre, and ever since the E3 gameplay went online, a lot of hardcore fans of the series were worried that Absolution would dumb the stealth aspects down too much.

Preview: Hitman Absolution

http://www.destructoid.com/preview-hitman-absolution-is-more-than-a-stealth-game-219297.phtmlLater this year, Hitman: Absolution will continue Agent 47's masterful descent into the dark life of an assassin. In the past, the Hitman series has never been what one would call an intense action experience, but for gamers who prefer a more Rambo-esque affair, developer IO Interactive has made sure Absolution offers something for everyone.
