Let\u2019s take a second to breath, as the gaming year\u2019s biggest period has slapped us around with some of the biggest releases, such as Black Ops 2, Hitman: Absolution and Epic Mickey 2, to name a few, and the news has been just as exciting.<\/p>\n

We managed to check out 6 of the most controversial games<\/a> ever made, 5 shameless rip-off<\/a>s<\/a>, some of gaming\u2019s best explosions<\/a> and a bunch of other features<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also got some insight into Hitman from the mind of a stripper<\/a>, as well as a hacker who tried to extort a game developer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
