Hitman vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Hitman
Hitman puts a whole new spin on the series, and is considered one of the best stealth games out there. Here you have Agent 47 in a series of new adventures that are bigger and more open than ever before.Rather than 1 full game, you have a series of seasons, each has its own unique location and story blended with the overall plot. Season one sees you working for the ICA once more and sends you to some pretty amazing locations. In these sandbox areas you have over 300 NPC’s to avoid, accost or outright kill. During the season there will be several expansion packs that expand on the area, move you to a new location or give you more of the story. If you purchase the full game these are free, or you can buy them in stages as a season pass. In either case you have an epic experience waiting for you with special unique missions and the ability to make your own contracts. With a change in strategy the developers have made one of the top rated games of the last 2 years.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
