A collection of two excellent games and Silent Assassin. This was a great way to experience these games. Silent Assassin is a 7/10. Contracts is a 7/10, and Blood Money is an 8/10 so the score evens out to a 7/10.

Three games, 40 levels and more than 75 hits? That's a lot of content by any measure. You also get the Hitman: Sniper Challenge with this.

If you’re a long-time Hitman fan who’s never been able to part with your copies of Silent Assassin and Contracts but hasn’t been inclined to squint through the low-res murkiness to replay them, grab this and take a trip back in time. If your only experience of Blood Money was on PS2, grab this; this is what 360 owners got and this is how Blood Money was meant to look. If you missed them back in the day, grab this now and discover how gratifying stealing another man’s clothes and, er, whacking his boss can be.

They’re definitely showing their age, but beneath the elderly visuals and slightly crusty controls lay the roots of a creative and rewarding series of games that probably don’t quite get the credit they deserve.
