Hitman – Codename 47

Description

A third-person shooter that emphasizes stealth and tactical thinking, Hitman: Codename 47 is a mixture of action and puzzle gaming.

You play the mysterious, nameless Hitman, whose perfectly lean body and UPC-stamped head indicate a somewhat unnatural childhood. Waking up one day in a cell, you escape your imprisonment and are shortly contacted by the Agency, an organization as mysterious as yourself. Offering a job in what you do best (delivering death), you embark on a career as an assassin. But the shadow of your past creeps up on you…and the last thing an assassin needs is something creeping on him.

A 3D game done nearly entirely from the third person (first person is used for aiming certain weapons), Hitman may initially draw comparisons to the Tomb Raider series. Although you can play in such a mode, there is also another mode where the mouse is more free to roam. Reflections, muzzle flashes, bodies that obey physics and slump and fall when necessary, and impressive shadows attempt to make the world feel realistic. …

Hitman 2 – Silent Assassin

Description

The perfect hitman, Agent 47, tries to distance himself from his violent past and becomes a humble church gardener. But he is tricked into returning to his trade when his friend, a priest, gets kidnapped by an Italian mafioso. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is a third-person stealth game. As a titular hitman, you have to complete a number of missions all over the world. Each mission generally involves assassinating someone and possibly fulfilling a couple of other objectives.

Typically, your target will be protected by numerous guards. While there’s a large arsenal of weapons available to you – ranging from stealthy weapons such as a garrote or a silenced pistol, up to machine guns and sniper rifles – your main weapon will be stealth. Agent 47 can sneak around to remain undetected, and he can disguise himself in clothes from killed or stunned guards.

The guards aren’t completely stupid, however, as they will investigate suspicious noises, and they’ll react if they see you waving around a gun. They’ll get suspicious if they see you running around, raise alarm upon finding a corpse, and if you hang in a disguise around them too long, they’ll eventually realize you’re not one of their buddies. …

Nightmare Ned

Description

Nightmare Ned is a puzzle-solving game presented as a platformer. Players control Ned who comes home from school and finds out through a note that his parents will be late. He uses the freedom to play games, but a thunderstorm frightens him and he goes to sleep. Strange things happen as a mysterious force drags Ned into a nightmare world. There, he can access five portals that lead to different worlds: The Graveyard, The Alcatraz Elementary School, The Medical Nightmare, The Attic, Basement and Beyond, and The Bathroom. These are all based on locations Ned knows in real life and they are connected to his fears. He meets regular characters but also different kinds of monsters. In the Elementary School level for instance Ned interacts with chalk drawings on a blackboard as they come to life. There are also often animated sequences.

To complete a portal Ned has to perform various tasks. His progress is shown through the shadow creatures as there is one in each world. Whenever Ned completes a part, the creature changes and eventually it becomes someone Ned knows from the real world and is connected to his fears. Not all puzzles need to be solved right away, but when a portal is left eight times without using a secret passage directly to another world, the game has a different ending. For a good ending Ned has to face all his fears and wake up unafraid.

The tasks, quests and puzzles can be completed through his platforming skills, including running, jumping and hanging from ledges, and interacting with the environment. Ned can use a yo-yo to attack, or use it to push buttons or interact with creatures and objects. …
