What Hitman Games Should I Play, to Understand the Story?

[Mr Companion]

Blood Money also has the best story, simple yet good. Anyway play whichever one you want.

But no seriously play Blood Money.

So to all you Hitman fans out there, if I'm mainly interested in story, which games (if any) would you recommend I play, in order to fully understand what's going on in Absolution

If you're mainly interested in story this is not the series for you.
