When Hitman: Absolution hits shelves and eventually lands in the hands of gamers in a few weeks, we have to make the painful choice of what difficulty we begin the game with. While some will opt for the safety of beginner or easy, some will decide to take the hardest road possible. Thankfully there is plenty to choose from, with the game launching with 5 different difficulty settings, so no matter your gaming skill there is a challenge for everyone.
