The Thing has a good plot, but nothing amazing, whereas Silent Hill 2 is a work of twisted genius. SH2 is more slow-moving though.
The Thing is a solid enjoyable adventure, whereas Hitman 2 has more gameplay - in that you can approach the missions in different ways.
From where you pick up the super-sniper weapon from your contact, walk out of the side-street and head to the right/straight to some stairs. Try not to be seen holding the monster gun (easier said than done).
If you've found the correct steps, you'll walk across a plank, climb a ladder and find yourself on a roof. Crouch behind the small barracde and zoom in on the city gates and wait for the cars.
Zoom in the right guy in the black limo and kill him. Now escape to the exit point on the map (easier said than done).
