How Do You Assassinate?

Ah, up close and personal for sure. Particulary using the hidden blade in the Assassin's Creed series. 
I usually go with the long range sniper shot, but I will also go for a stealthy silenced pistol double tap to the head if the opportunity presents itself. If all else fails I like to load a car with remote detonation explosives, drive it right into my target, jump out and detonate as soon as I reach a somewhat safe distance.
I always go for the long range or stealthy approach. It may sound a bit cowardly, but it's much more effective and smart than going straight in and up close. In shooting games I always tend to use marksman weapons, with a decent scope (like the DMR and the sniper rifle in Halo: Reach), and indeed in Halo my favourite 'ability' is the Active Camo, for sneaking around. RPGs, I tend to use bow and arrow or other longer range weapons. Hell, even in Assassin's Creed, I prefer picking off my enemies on rooftops with throwing knives or the hidden gun rather than getting up close (unless I'm free running, in which case I just get in quick, stabbity-stab, then run away again and carry on quickly to my target).
To be fair though, I do find it much easier playing as a sniper or a marksman on most games. I've done it so often that it's my best skill, and indeed some of my best gaming moments have been when sniping (for example, recently hitting three Jiralhanae in Halo 3 with headshots, below the helmet (so in the upper neck), when they were all running around, within five seconds and killing all three with one shot each).

Depemds on the game of course, but in GTA for instance, i'd just walk up, shoot them in the chest and head, then get away quick before anyone even notices.
On hitman i always tried to avoid using guns, usually I got up close and garroted them but sometimes I stabbed them or used a silenced pistol.
if we're talking a major target I have two methods.
The silent method in which nobody knows I was ever there and can escape unharmed.
And the suicidal method in which I don't think past the assassination. I may use stealth early on, but once the target's dead my goal is to simply get out of dodge as quickly as possible with as few lacerations as possible.
I tend to go with the latter, moreso due to lack of skill than preference.

Drive up to their car, get out of mine, throw them from their car, one bullet to the back of the head, walk away
Toss a poisoned rice ball around the corner.
Wait until the guard goes to pick it up.
Quickly close distance, break his arm and stab him in the throat.
(Man, now I want to play Tenchu... but which one?)
