If you complete the Holiday Hoarders Paris mission, you'll even get an appropriately Christmasy gift: a Santa 47 Suit. Complete the Snow Festival mission in Hokkaido, and you'll get the Snow Festival Suit and Ice Pick.

There's a ton of gifts to open up throughout the rest of the month for eager fans, and you can find a complete list below:

• The Truman Convention Escalation Contract in Santa Fortuna (Colombia) – Available Dec. 5

Just when the bad guys thought it was safe to creep around like total jerks, Agent 47 is back at it again in a big way. And you'll be able to tackle all of this cool stuff for free!

Not convinced you want to jump in? Kevin Tucker reviewed Hitman 2's base game at Shacknews and awarded it a 9 out of 10. Here's what he had to say about it:

"Through all of the complex machinations and staggering amount of opportunities within its levels, Hitman 2 manages to be a game with one surprisingly simple demand: think things through. As it is in life, perception and consideration go a very long way here, and players who are willing to put in the proper amount of time and effort will see just how perplexing, engaging, and rewarding stealth action games can be."

Time to get down and dirty in-game if you haven't yet! Looks like you'll have plenty to keep you busy this holiday season.
