The Hitman series has been around for almost six years now, as they’ve followed the adventures of Agent 47, an uber-professional cloned hitman that’s tasked with taking out the trash on behalf of the shadowy assassin’s guild known only as The Agency. His lifestyle has its ups and down, but in the end, he gets to kill people and hide their bodies for a living, which is good work if you can find it.
Players familiar with the Hitman series will be right at home in Hitman: Blood Money, the latest installment in the series. In it, 47 is up to his old games as he throttles numerous innocents simply because he wants to steal their clothes in order to infiltrate off-limits areas and inject poison into cakes which he then places in front of large men with sweet tooths who then lick the icing and keel over dead. All in a day’s work for 47, really. Of course, the game also allows you to be as ruthlessly violent as you want; if you want to take things subtle and slow, you’re going to be able to, but if you just want to kill everything that moves with an automatic rifle, then you’ll be allowed to do that as well.
