Hitman: Blood Money

As the title notes, you play assassin-for-hire Agent 47. You’re also a clone, sure, and bald, but what matters is your skill at killing invariably evil people in the most imaginative and sneaky of ways, taking out targets within cleverly assembled levels set in Vegas, Paris, Mardi Gras and even the White House (all unsurprisingly most spectacular on Xbox 360). Of course, not everyone appreciates your talents and the hunter becomes the hunted as a contract is put out on you. But even this new twist in the series’ fourth iteration doesn’t mess with the, ahem, well-executed formula that allows seemingly unlimited freedom within each mission to murder as you see fit, be it with your trademark fibre-wire, poison or 12 shots to the dome.
