4. Hit Man: Blood Money
The Hitman games revolve of around a simple premise: you are Agent 47, a Hitman, and you are an assassin. A damned good one. Now, this game was more criticized for its advertisement campaign than the game itself (although the game was filled to the brim with a variety of blood and gore. One ad for the game had a cellist with a slit throat (titled "Classically Executed"), and another had an attractive woman laying in a pool of blood (titled "Beautifully Executed"). Again, though, this was a violent game. In addition to the usual ability to massacre bystanders and assassination targets, there were also complaints that the game taught people how to commit murder - every level in the game had the ability for Agent 47 to make his target's death look like an accident: people could be killed by a grill "accidentally" exploding, an electrical object that "just happened" to find its way into a bathtub, and then there's the unfortunate person who just happened to fall off a balcony... it happens, right? All this aside, Blood Money was an excellent game, and at this point, I don't even see why people find digital violence so worthy of criticism anymore. People play games where someone gets shot all the time. Why aren't they used to it yet?
