Stealth games as a genre have been in decline this generation. We've seen video game publishers move away from games like Hitman: Absolution in recent

The Hitman series is held in very high regard by fans. Blood Money is seen as the pinicle of the series. It is six years since the release of Blood Money and fans have been desperate for a fresh dose of their favourite hired hitman, Agent 47.

Hitman Absolution The last time I played Hitman was the original ten years ago. I missed the sequels and never got around to playing Blood Money, which I heard was one of the best games in the series.

Hitman Absolution right off the bat was something entirely different; The game is all about stealth and punishes you for using weapons.  It's a game you need to plan your strategy to get to the exit of the level, distract enemies and hide their bodies so you don't get caught.

The disguise system feels wonky and broken; If for example, you are in a crowd and you are dressed as a cop, then you shouldn't be suspicious to other cops; You are though, and the only way to stay inconspicuous is to either blend into the crowd, or use all your instinct to tip your hat and cover...

The Hitman series has been a long time favorite of mine.  No other game has managed to pull me in and immerse me the way these games have.  Constructing a strategy, using the environment and disguises to your advantage, and executing a clean kill before anyone even knows you have been there is what...

This game is glitched this is ment to have be fixed but still it carrys on that all the game saves are corrupted when you turn xbox off after starting over twice I give up with it am glad I only rented it and not bought it, other than that nice game to play all round..

I really enjoyed the game. If it weren't for me loving the previous hitman titles i'd have given a 5/5. The game itself is really good but this one is focused on a story more than separate assassinations with a story back-plot like its previous titles.

does exactly what you would want from a master assassin game; it turns killing into an art form. Playing as the bald-headed badass Agent 47, you have everything at your fingertips to end someone's life. Want to garrote someone in a bathroom? Go for it.

Decisions, decisions. What's the best way to kill a well-guarded man in a crowded public square? Should we sprinkle his sushi with fugu poison? Quickly push him down a convenient open shaft when no one's looking? Taint the drugs in his apartment?

+ Exotically executed sandbox scenarios give you plenty of tools to make a killing; + A lengthy single-player story with a surprising emotional center
