Sponsored: Hitman Sniper Challenge winner revealed, body count passes 100 million kills

After months of shooting men in the head, the final, ultimate, numero uno master assassin of the Hitman Sniper Challenge has been found. Craig McVeigh (aka Mackdadi) emerged victorious from the Grand Prize showdown at last month’s Golden Joystick Awards in London. Here’s a video of how it went down:

For his superhuman achievement, Craig is now the proud owner of a Golden Joystick (presented to him by the voice of Agent 47, David Bateson), and will have his face scanned into a future Hitman game. That’s in addition to the prizes he’s already collected on the way, most notably some sweet Sennheiser headphones and an iPad. So well done to Craig McVeigh – you have the skills.

And a huge thanks to everyone who took part in the Sniper Challenge, together you managed to accumulate over 100 million kills.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
