Well, I don't know regarding Hitman but FlightGear's been out for
awhile.

http://www.flightgear.org

Its main requirement is a hardware accelerated 3D OpenGL-capable display.
This isn't difficult; I use a BT5500, which was about $100 when I
bought it some time ago. (It's nVidia-based.)

If Hitman is presented by Eidos (http://www.hitman.com), I'm not sure
what to tell you; it looks like a multiplatform shoot-em-up, though.
(Unfortunately, Linux is not among the platforms.)
