Hitman 5: Absolution



I love the Hitman series. Other guys are into the high-body-count, mass-murder games, and, I mean, I'm a big fan of the GTA series and other shoot-em-up games, but at the same time I never really understood the appeal of going on some wild shooting spree killing a bunch of bystanders that had nothing to do with your objective. (By-the-by Scarface the game is good for this. Tony actually refuses to shoot someone who isn't a rival gang member and it still remains to be super high octane).

Anyway, after a round about way of getting to it, that's what I love of the Hitman games. You do it clean. Even killing one person outside of your contract will cost you money. You have to smart about your approach; strategic. In fact it is even more of a show of your talent if you don't use a gun at all, if you have get close, right up on your target, even better if you make it look like and accident.

In the last Hitman, the agency had been decimated and agent 47 (the lead character you see ripping through an army of guards here) was betrayed by his handler Dianna (the red head in the shower). However Dianna pulled a double betrayal helping 47 to fake his death so he could get close to the men who were after him. Now the man's gone rogue. It's going off!
