"The retail videogame pre-order system has become a muddled mess of late, with retailers often holding back content from customers that elect to not pre-order titles, or even worse, elect to purchase a game from a less-favoured retailer in the eyes of the publishers. With videogame sales dwindling it’s an understandable move, however the confusing situation we’re left with shows how badly retailers and publishers have handled it. Hitman: Sniper Challenge is the latest in a long line of exclusive content offers to try to secure early money from customers – will it serve to alienate or gain a larger share of our precious disposable income for Square Enix?"
The Hitman video game series and its remorseless protagonist Agent 47 have a penchant for despatching villainous targets in inventive, often brutal ways. With the arrival of the next chapter in the Hitman story on 11 March, the IBTimes UK team has compiled a list of the best individual assassinations the franchise has offered to date.
Poisoning the panty sniffer while you hide in the closet is the greatest thing I've ever seen in a game.
Play as Agent 47 and eliminate enemies with your Agency sniper rifle to accumulate points. Be meticulous and smart; use environmental kills to score higher points. Become the ultimate assassin and challenge friends to beat your high scores on Facebook.
Previously, this game was only available as a pre-order incentive for Hitman: Absolution.
Square Enix might be creating another downloadable Hitman game. The UK office of the publisher has filed a trademark for the title Hitman: Sniper Assassin.
Announcement soon? This happened with Absolution. This sounds like a mobile game to me.
Love the Sniper Challenge being a huge fan of the franchise from its PC origins such an awesome pre-order bonus.
