    Anyone thinking about going back and playing Blood Money to get hyped for Absolution? I originally played BM on the original Xbox so it might be fun to play it on the 360.

    Trying to find a copy online. $19 from Gamestop. $29 on Games on Demand. I'm wondering if it's worth it to pay the $10 so I don't have to deal with shipping and such.

    Very. In fact, this very thread has convinced be to go buy it.

    I played it originally on PS2 and didn't like it much but I cant remember why as I love the earlier games.

    I still play Blood Money fairly regularly. Haven't yet been able to Silent Assassin Amendment XXV on Pro. That goddamn dog.

    Still though, awesome game.

    Still a great game. Only level I've been able to get Silent Assassin on was the one with the Heaven and Hell nightclub and that's just because I waited in the lift for like an hour for both people to walk underneath and let me walk out undetected.

    I have it on 360, a very fun game but also a little hard to go back to if you're used to recent advances in both stealth games and third person shooters.

    Regardless, I still have the perfect silent assassin solution to the suburbia level memorized like nothing else. Put sleeping drugs in the donuts, leave them outside the surveillance van for the FBI, wait for them to pass out, take one of their suits, destroy the tapes, break the electricity box outside, go inside, kill the target watching the non-functioning TV with a syringe, hide him in the closet, go to the back yard, sabotage the BBQ, let the target's wife burn to death, grab her microfiche, go back to the van, get your suit and get out of there. Done, silent assassin rating.

    EDIT: For the bonus newspaper title rating of "sushi chef", grab the butcher's knife in the kitchen and kill EVERYBODY.

    I feel as though I kind of exhausted Blood Money by playing it so extensively and inventing extra criteria for missions. Am definitely going to go back to Hitman 2 at some point, without a doubt my favourite in the series.

    @Devil240Z: Yes. Everyone should buy it on Steam. I got it on sale for like 2 bucks not long ago, but I think the regular price is $10. 
     
    I just reinstalled this game last night, so I'm looking forward to doing some contract killing.

    I never played it before. So I gave in and bought it on Games on Demand. Always heard great things about it, so can't wait to play it.

    Although, I got inFamous 2 coming through tomorrow too, so it may be hard to put that down for a pretty old game.

    I replayed this last month, still a fantastic game. This is as action oriented as I want the series to get, which is why I'm slightly worried about Absolution.
     
    This is still my only S. Rank on 360. I have no idea on how the hell I got Silent Assassin on Ammendmant XXV.

    I'm not being sarcastic at all, this is how you play the game! I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I play so slow and methodical with the Hitman games.

    Always be replaying Blood Money. Seriously one of the best stealth games ever made.  
     
    And someday... SOMEDAY... I'll be able to finish a mission without guns blazing. The AI hates me so much. :(

    This was the only game in the series I have any experience with. I watched my brother play some of it. He's a huge stealth fan and he thought it was an awful game so that was enough to make me not interested. Also I couldn't get over how he just changed clothes like that. I played the first mission and hated how it controlled. I played the 360 version. Maybe the PC version is better...

    I bought it during the Steam sale last week. It still plays kind of quirky even on the PC. It reminds me of a puzzle game. You have to figure out the patterns and find those special ways to achieve whatever goal you're trying to obtain.

    I'm having a crashing problem, so I can't get that deep into it. But I like games like this. Hopefully, I can fix my problem.

    @Claude: Check out the Steam forums if you haven't already. They're almost always on top of any crashing or serious bugs. Usually it's a great place to find a fix.

    I've researched it and tried some things. When I have the time, I'm just going to start over. The first three missions, counting the tutorial, worked fine. The crash comes at the same time over and over. Weird. I also might try my laptop, it's Windows 7 compared to my XP on my desktop.

    Regardless of the impending release of Absolution Hitman: Blood Money is one of those games that I very regularly think about popping back in.

    I mean, I never do, but I think about it often.

    I'm sorry, but this game is UNFUCKING-PLAYABLE. Trying to play it on pc for the first time, and I cannot deal with it. The controls are just so terrible that I nearly threw my keyboard out the window. Maybe it's just because I don't have any nostalgia for it, but I absolutely do not intend to keep playing. I wish I could, but the game is terrible. I see the appeal, but actually playing it? No thank you.

    Yeah, I bough the Hitman Collection last year, intending to play all of them again. But then other games came along and destroyed that plan.

    It is not like I need to, as I beat Hitman: Codename 47 back in the day. And I beat both Hitman 2 and Hitman: Contracts with Silent Assassin ranking on all levels. I played a lot of Hitman...

    I also think I was close to getting all Silent completions on Blood Money, but vaguely remember having one level left to do it on. Then my computer crashed and needed a reformat. Bye bye save games.

    I have set all of these games in my Backloggery as unfinished though, so that I will come back eventually and finish them completely again.

    Them talking about it made me just reinstall it yesterday and play through the whole thing over yesterday and today. Still holds up pretty well, depending on how annoyed you get with the whole trial-and-error mechanic.

    I've played through it too many times to try it again for nostalgia sake. Silent Assassin on every mission... the way it was meant to be played.
