The first Hitman Absolution (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-360/action/12214/hitman-absolution/) review has arrived in the form of a 9/10 in Official PlayStation Magazine UK.
The verdict is featured in the latest issue of the mag, which is arriving with subscribers now and hits shops on October 27. Here's a choice quote from the OPM review (http://www.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/2012/10/23/hitman-absolution-review-gets-910-in-official-playstation-magazine-a-peak-for-the-series/):

It takes the ideas that made the original games so great and presents them in a modern context of checkpoints, hints and forgiveness but without sacrificing any of the challenge, excitement or shivery-skinned thrill of pulling off some impossibly and beautifully planned hit."Meanwhile, Official Xbox Magazine has also given the game a 9/10, calling it a "triumph of stealth and sandbox design that retains everything that fans have ever loved about the series".
Publisher Square Enix has confirmed a Hitman: Absolution release date (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/347094/hitman-absolution-gets-november-release-date/) of November 20.
