Hitman Blood Money

Killing people for money as a profession has been around for as long as there have been bakers, firemen or police men, but it’s only after IO Interactive made a fully immersive game about contract killing, did it achieve such a "OMG, being a Hitman is so cool" status. You can’t help but be in awe (scared shitless may be the appropriate word) of the protagonist of the Hitman games; a bald stone-cloned (pun intended) killer clad in black suit, red tie, barcode on the head et al.

In Blood Money, Agent 47 is now the 'hunted' as a rival agency is gunning for his blood in an attempt to wipe out all competition. To get to the bottom of this conspiracy, he travels the globe leaving a trail of blood, mayhem and destruction.

Unlike previous games, Blood Money’s first level serves as a tutorial of sorts, so you don’t have to play all three Hitman games to understand this game’s mechanics. Since you’re a contract killer in Blood Money, expect to kill… a lot, but remember; this isn’t a mindless shooter, it takes skill and a hell of a lot of patience to 'get the job done' neat and clean. Sure you could go in guns blazing, racking up the body count a la John Rambo, but you’ll probably end up dying before you reach your target or generate more attention than you bargained for.
