You'll be able to relive all your favorite bald, bar-coded assassin moments later this month with the release of the Hitman HD: Trilogy.  You get to see every hit in Hitman Contracts, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, and Hitman Blood Money in glorious HD.  That's a grand total of 75 hits across 40 levels.

The Hitman HD: Trilogy comes out on January 29 for the very reasonable price of $39.99 and is available on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

If you're interested in spending the same amount of money for more things, Square Enix has got you covered with the simultaneous release of the Hitman HD: Trilogy limited edition that features an art book with 22 artistic renderings of classic Hitman moments.

Furthermore at www.WhoIs37.com, you can buy one-of-a-kind autographed lithographs from the limited edition for $47 each.  You can also submit your own Hitman-themed art inspired by Hitman Contracts, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, and Hitman Blood Money.  One grand prize winner will be chosen to receive a custom Agent 47 Xbox 360 console.  You can find the official rules at www.WhoIs47.com.

And the cornucopia doesn't quit giving: the Hitman HD: Trilogy will also include the Hitman: Sniper Challenge stand-alone sniper mini-game that was previously only available to those that pre-ordered Hitman: Absolution (items unlocked in the sniper challenge aren't transferable to the other titles).
