Hitman 2 is the kind of stealth game where you can either sneak up on your target and kill him without anybody knowing; or you take out your machinegun and kill him and everybody else in the zip code. I played this on the Original Xbox and loved it. I never played the first game, and I haven't played one since. Don't know why.
The Hitman series is pretty amazing as a cultural landmark - not only are there a ton of entires in the game series, but there's also a movie AND a reboot. I hear the last two new ones are really good too... I own the first, and have it downloaded for my PS4 but haven't played it yet.
Stealth games were very in vogue for a time, but they have their detractions. What I liked about Hitman 2 is that it let you beat the missions in your own way. The open-endednes of this game is great.
Is the first new one the free PS+ one from last month?
Actually I think it’s a COD game and The Witness. But I did hear somewhere the first episode or the whole game was free somewhere...
It (whichever Hitman game is on my PS4 now) was free for PS+ last month; COD and The Witness are this month's tites.
Yeah you’re right.
You should definitely check it out. I’m going to eventually.
That's how stealth games should be. I stopped playing Beyond Good and Evil when it would stop me from doing stuff I know I could do, just because I was spotted by a robot I could clearly defeat.
yeah some stealth games can be pretty...oppressive.
Hitman Absolution and Blood Money were free on Xbox. I probably have them in my digital library.
I didn't know you could forgo stealth and take 'em out any old way. This peaks my interest. I always like witnesses to my digital crimes. Moohahahaha!
yeah witnesses are good. They spread the word not to fuck with you. 
Always gotta let someone survive to tell the story and get everyone scared. Wow, I know a little bit too much of this tactic. What are video games teaching me?
