4. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the sequal to Hitman: Codename 47. Silent Assassin has a good deal of stealth involved in some missions which adds to the uniqueness of this game. The AI is good and if you don't remain stealthy then you're in for a short game. A much impoved followup to the original Codename 47.
