Mike writes, "There have been a lot of great titles and series’ over the years, and one of my absolute favorites is Hitman; a truly unique type of game which has a brand new installment coming out today.
In celebration of its release, here’s a look back at how the core games in this series have evolved over the years.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.

I know Absolution gets bashed quite a bit, but The Shaving Lenny mission is my favorite Hitman mission.....I love it and keep finding different ways to raise hell there, and the graphics in that game were stellar for that time.
The hitman series has always been one of my favorites. I've beaten them all. Really looking forward to the new one. But I'm waiting for the entire game to be released at once before I pick it up. It looks great. But I can't get behind episodic content games. I think it's a joke of a practice and will not support it.
