Talking Castlevania with Producer Dave Cox

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was one of the surprises of the year when it was released back in 2010.

Borkowski: Hi, I’m Andy Borkowski with VideoGameSophistry. We’re talking today about the game that I want to play more than anything, come the end of the year: Hitman: Absolution. Can you tell us a little bit about it?

Smith: Absolutely. It’s been six years since we’ve seen Agent 47 in action, and Hitman: Absolution is his most personal journey to date.
