The peeps over at PC.IGN have whipped up a preview on Io Interactive's upcoming stealth title, Hitman: Contracts, after getting a chance to check it out hands-on. Here's a nugget:

While the title might suggest that this new iteration is a series of unrelated stories, they're not. The myriad of missions are part of Agent 47's memories, which serve to give players a disturbing look at the mind of an assassin, but they're also connected because they lead up to the present. They all point to his painful existence in the hotel room, a new starting point from which the story then progresses. What happens next? IO wants to keep it a secret, so we're left with a little anticipation and excitement for the story to be fleshed out. Quite nice.
