The beginning of a wonderful idea.
The concept of Hitman is entirely that of IO interactive, it follows the exploits of a genetically engineered assassin who goes by the name of; Agent 47. Agent 47 is one of a long line of clones who were bred from birth to be efficient and professional executioners. The main point of the Hitman games has always been this; Enter an area, formulate a plan of action to eliminate your target(s) and move quickly to extraction to avoid detection. A live-action movie was released in 2007 staring Timothy Olyphant and Olga kurlyenko.
A look back at some of Agent 47's most classic kills.
The PC digital versions of several Eidos games have been discounted by 75 percent off (to as low as $1.49) on Amazon. The notable titles include games from the Deus Ex, Hitman, Legacy of Kain, Just Cause and Thief franchises.
Legacy of Kain was great! I've been hoping for a Blood Omen remake for years now... which would be a good place to start to test-the-waters for a Soul Reaver reboot!
Mark from GamersFTW writes his opinion on the Top 5 Assassins in Gaming
No Harman Smith from Killer 7, Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes, or Mondo Zappa from Killer is Dead?
Nice article, I was a little sad that it wasn't the top 10 rather than top 5 but appreciate the amount of detail you've put into each of the entries (the amount of videos felt a little bit too much though). Dishonored is the first sneaking assassin game that I've actually enjoyed, loved the gameplay I felt so slick and powerful, even if I didn't kill people.
