Hitman - The Complete First Season review

Hitman's new approach makes for some of the most memorable and varied experiences in franchise history.

Earlier this year, Square Enix debuted the next evolution of its murder-filled franchise, setting out to change both Hitman's gameplay and how it delivered content. Clearing the slate with a title simply named, Hitman, the series took on a brand new episodic structure, releasing a "season" of content in sixth monthly installments.

With this new distribution method, gameplay also underwent several changes, offering more developed assassination scenarios. Putting player choice front and foremost, these alterations aimed to create more immersive scenarios, with increased replayability.

The entire first season is now available, with a physical disc-based version of the game also up for purchase. After six main missions and over a dozen additional targets, has Hitman's episodic model proved successful?

You can now select up to 10 consoles to include in the Xbox Insider Program rings, here's how

The Xbox Insider Program has been updated to repair one of its biggest shortcomings.

As we've noted previously, gaining access to the Xbox Insider equivalent of Windows Insider's Fast Ring is based on feedback merit.

Those who submit the most pieces of feedback will be invited automatically, but therein lies a problem. Microsoft was selecting a single console per user to invite to the Xbox Insider rings, which presented an issue for those signed into multiple Xboxes. The console that Microsoft invited to the program might not be the one you were using the most, creating issues for some users.

Thankfully, Microsoft has now fixed this, allowing you to enroll up to 10 consoles into the Alpha ring. Here's how.

Dell XPS 13 versus MacBook Air: Which should you buy?

Both are thin, light and fairly expensive. So which deserves your money?

Which one of these two laptops has been updated three times since it first launched with newer hardware inside while the other has been left to pasture yet is still sold at a high price? Hint: It's not Apple that's been updating anything.

It may seem a little unfair to compare a brand new model with a year's old MacBook Air, but the truth is, it's one of the important comparisons to make. Both are still sold, both are premium ultrabooks and you, the savvy consumer, should know knows exactly what you're going into before parting with your cash.

So, in the battle of the ultralights, which comes out on top?
