I have them all installed and ready to go on Steam. After beating SC II singleplayer, I'm in a bit of a dead point as to which game should I play now. Now that I'm pumped for the upcoming Absolution game, I figured playing through the entire trilogy was a nice way to honor a revered series.

So, Hitman: Codename 47. Boy has it not aged well. Looks like ass, actually, a fact that is made even more evident because it doesn't support widescreen. But it seems to be really hard and unforgiving, if my repeated dying at the very first mission is something to go by. Maybe that's because of the game being a PC exclusive and all. No bullshit hand-holding, big-ass arrows pointing at your target or bright breadcrumb trails to follow. It's just: here is a pic of your mark, here are your weapons. Go find him, kill him and get out of there on your own.

I tried Hitman 2 on Xbox back in the day. Got to level 2, and swore I'd never play another one.

Good luck, though!

This is my story but for Hitman: Contracts for the XB. One of the mechanically worst games I've ever played.

Worked my way up until the third contract. The game is ruthless. And the fact that it has no saving or checkpoint system makes it even harder. Once you know what to do, however, it starts to show some promise. I hope this is a short game, though. Controls are awkward and rudimentary, AI is bad and there is like zero replay value on the contracts.

Yeah Played a few of these,  on 360 it is a real bitch I got tired of dying or blowing the mission and starting over and over so I just quit.

You people suck lol! Nyaa

Keep at it, Steel. It's not really hard when you work out what you're doing. Good series, but it definitely gets better the further you get into the series.

There's only three available on Steam, and the disc based one drops another one.

Steam version has 47, but drops Contracts. Disc based has Contracts, but drops 47.

Shiiiiet. Lee Hong's assassination is easier said than done. Fuck this game from the depths of hell.

Oh well, at least I almost got some blocky ass. And titties.
