#11: Hitman Blood Money


Year: 2006
Why It's Great: Rather than casting you as an uber-killer who solves his problems with a hail of bullets, Blood Money required you to take your time and carefully plot out your hits. Agent 47, the star of the classic Hitman series, had a veritable tool box of devious tricks at his disposal. Missions were open-ended in design, so when pursuing an assassination target, you could barge through the front door with your guns blazing...or you could sneak through a back window and slip some poison into the hapless victim's dinner. You could stealthily wire a bomb under the mark's car and detonate it from afar...or climb into a nearby building with a sniper rifle and patiently wait for your target to come into range. It was this sense of choice that has always set the Hitman series apart.
