Conan O'Brien is kind of like my grandparents, in that he has no clue about games. That doesn't mean he shouldn't play them. In fact, I'm usually very entertained when he tries to play a game, much like my grandparents as well.

Really, I just feel bad about giving you guys that Tank! Tank! Tank! video yesterday. To make up for it, here's a much funier video from Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer series.

I have way too many games in my backlog, but I just might have to put them aside for this game. I'm really psyched for the return of 47.

I love these session's of Conan's Clueless Gamer, good stuff, thanks Ben!

I've been watching an early walkthrough, because I got intrigued after the Run For Your Life trailer, and I gotta say, the game looks great-gameplay and graphics wise. Might pick it up later, when I've got a PC that can handle it.

His reaction to the "body mulcher" was priceless. Lol

You guys gave it a respectable 8.75, and I must agree- it is pretty good. The assassination is in season... :D

Stop embarrassing the gaming community already.

Pre-ordered and have my sniping skills honed. Looking forward to it!

This has me worried. I want Absolution to be good, but Conan's review just somehow worries me.

I've never played a Hitman game, it looks fun though.
by Jaded Gamer Friday, November 16, 2012 at 09:20 PM

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Yeeeeeeeeeeah! I BLEW HIS HEAD OFF!!!!

LMAO!

Conan is a distrubed human being.. And I love it!

Comedians like Conan should play games more often and say what they feel about them. These are genuinely funny because they actually know how to articulate jokes into their commentary as opposed to some brain-dead LPer who talks as if they could care less if anybody is watching.

I should have saved up for this instead of AC III. I'll buy it one day...

I fail to believe that after all of these "reviews" he's done that Conan doesn't own an Xbox, he should consider himself an official gamer now.
by GeneralChurch Friday, November 16, 2012 at 09:58 PM

did Conan acknowledge that he was finally put into halo 4?
by Korley18 Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:18 PM

Ha! Love Conan...
by darkflamemaster Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:59 PM

HAHAHAHA! that reaction!!!! gave me a good laugh! XDD

This was pretty great. "I'm a scarecrow in a corn field mofo"
by THX-1138 Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:11 PM

Absolutely smashing
by Terry Majamaki Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:13 PM

That was awesome, so funny. Conan and Hitman rules!
by VinsanityV22 Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:33 PM

I have never seen someone so pumped to play through a tutorial level! lol.

Kata-SHABA!

Holy ****. If Square-Enix doesn't put, "I'm a scarecrow in a cornfield, MOTHA-F***A!" as a quote on the back of the box, I will lose all respect for them, forever! XD

Cant say im a fan of conan, i dont like how he laughs at his own jokes all the time or always calls his jokes stupid in the middle of one. And how the audience laughs at everything he does, even that stupid dance of his
