Hitman: Sniper Challenge now available on PC - Let the games begin!
IO Interactive did something different with pre-orders for Hitman: Absolution. While there is the random assortment of retailer exclusive DLC, the main bonus for pre-orders is an exclusive game - Hitman: Sniper Challenge. Developed by IO staff in their spare time, it puts you in the shoes of 47 (of course) as he attempts to take out Richard Strong, Jr. and his men, building score multipliers and unlocking secrets along the way. And IO were having so much fun with the arcadey sniper action that they decided to make it into a proper little game and give it to the fans.
And it's now available on the PC! It's been available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 since May, but everyone knows that PC is the correct way to play Hitman. Which is no doubt why Square-Enix, in a partnership with EB Games, waited until now to start up a leaderboard - with exclusive prizes to be won. There are monthly leaderboards for the PC, 360 and PS3 versions and each month's winners will get a set of the excellent Sennheiser MM 450X Noise Cancelling Headphones, a sweet looking Hitman branded USB tie pin, a red tie you will have to wash separately from anything else you own and a bobblehead thing of Agent 47. Runners up will get the Hitman swag, but not the headphones, naturally. You can read more details about the competition and check out the leaderboards over on the official website and embedded below is the Sniper Challenge trailer, just so you know what the heck I'm talking about. As always, you can also check it out in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course.
