Eidos send word that the latest game in the Hitman series, Hitman: Blood Money has now shipped to stores and will be on shelves across Europe this coming Friday, the 26th of May. The game is available for Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 and PC.

Anyone know why Agent 47 has a barcode on the back of his head?

Hitman: Blood Money is the latest installment in the sinister assassination series, developed by IO Interactive, and takes killing for money to a whole new level.

When assassins from Agent 47's contract agency, The ICA, are systematically eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a larger, more powerful agency has entered the fray. For Agent 47 it's business as usual, until suddenly he loses contact with The ICA. Sensing that he may be the next target, he travels to America, where he prepares to make a killing.
