Hitman

Dietz, William C. Hitman: Enemy Within,  Del Rey, 2007.


The book is about a hitman named Agent 47. He is the Agency's top assassin.  As other similar organisations attempt to destoy the Agency, their number 1 priority is to eliminate Agent 47. Following a failed attempt on him, he is sent to figure out who is leaking information about the Agency to enemies. In order to do this, he has to fight his way through dangerous countries.

I found this game somewhat appealing due to its play-style of a hitman. I like the idea of  also using stealth to eliminate the enemies.

The genre is mainly about violence.

The game revolves around the ideas of being a hitman. In this game you play as Agent 47 and he is sent to assassinate various targets using an array of weapons. The way players are rated on their performance in a mission is by rankings. Lowest rank being "mass murderer"  in which players who did not use stealth and the highest ranking being "silent assassin" in which players completed the tasks as the game originally was intended.

The game is developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive. IO Interactive is a Danish-owned video game developer currently owned by Square Enix. William C. Dietz is a best-selling author of New York Times of more than 40 novels.
