Video: Hitman 2 let me join the illustrious ranks of Sean Bean’s murderers
“For England, James?” “No, for XP.” 2000 XP, to be precise. That’s how much Sean Bean’s life is worth in the first of Hitman 2’s Elusive Targets. These are timed contracts that give you one shot at killing a special guest character - in this case, everyone’s favourite Yorkshire thespian (okay, it’s a toss up between Bean and fellow GoldenEye alumni Judi Dench). Bean, of…
Nu-Hitman's time-limited Elusive Targets are nothing new, but this latest is worth a spot of ballyhoo because a) it's the first one for the simply sublime Hitman 2 2 b) it's only bloody Boromir himself.

Occasionally celebrity narrator Sean Bean says something, sounding weary even for a Yorkshireman, but he's mostly been quiet since picking his way through the introduction (at one point…
Alex has pitched Kholat [official site] to me as "looks alright, has Sean Bean in it." So naturally, moved by his booming recommendation I've slipped on my Sharpe #1 Fan jumper to take a look. And O! It takes me back to those dark nights in Canada reading through Wikipedia's strangest entries. Have you heard of the Dyatlov Pass Incident? The event saw the mysterious deaths of…
Sean "Eddard Stark of Winterfell, Richard Sharpe, Emperor Martin Septim, Boromir, Alec Trevelyan" Bean wants you to be as excited about Train Simulator 2014 as he is. Are you one of the "many" train fans he he speaks of?
