The Hitman series of hardcore stealth games have always received a terrific reception, and there is no reason to doubt that the eagerly awaited fifth game in the series will be any different. It is anticipated that Hitman Absolution will be launched over the coming months and will have a number of new twists including an online option and a brand new mode called “instinct” which permits Agent 47 to use his sixth sense to predict where the enemy is patrolling.

Hitman Absolution features the same crew as previous Hitman releases with a few new additions, which include: Agent 47, the perfect assassin whose genome has been constructed from genetic material taken from the world’s five most dreaded criminals; Diana Burnwood who was once Agent 47’s handler; Benjamin Travis the rather unfortunate head man of the ICA; Jade who is now the PA to Agent 47; Lasandra Dixon, a nun and assassin; and Blake Dexter, Agent 47’s main antagonist.

As ever you play the role of Agent 47, a stealthy assassin who can kill without leaving a trace. This time you are seeking to eliminate a most unsavoury character that is known as the King of Chinatown, a drug runner and addict. The law enforcement agencies don’t want to know about him; he has them in his pocket. Your mission is to slay him, and get out quickly without being detected. How will you accomplish this task? The King of Chinatown has a number of weaknesses; you may wish to tamper with his drugs so that he receives a lethal hot shot; lead him to a secret place and slit his evil throat; firebomb his car; or something else entirely; the choice is yours.

If you enjoy the whole of the Hitman franchise then Hitman is also available as a five reel bonus video slot with fifteen paylines and 300 coins. You can play it at www.gamingclub.com/mobile-casino.aspx and download it to your iPhone or Android as part of the Gaming Club mobile casino.
