Hitman Blood Money Review

for Xbox 360

Another Hitman game has been brought to us by Io Interactive and Eidos Interactive, and it is on fire. You take the place of Agent 47 again, and he is sharper than ever. Hitman Blood Money takes place mostly in the United States. You will travel many places, from Paris to Las Vegas, and many stops in between the way.

GamePlay- Agent 47 is back and is better than ever, he now has all new moves, that will help you throughout missions. You can Head butt people to stun them, and you can push them down to the ground(or push them off cliffs). The new blood money system is also a great new feature. You earn money for each mission you complete, and the more cleaner you do your missions the more money you get. For Example if you go in shooting, and leave a lot of witnesses you might not get as much money if you sneak in fiberwire your target and sneak out with no witnesses, you might earn twice as much. With the money you earn you can upgrade your basic weapons to very deadly weapons.

Graphics- The 360 version of Hitman Blood Money is extra nice. The stunning visuals are lovely to look at. The graphics are awesome, but it's not using 100% of what the 360 could do. The blood looks decent but not excellent.

Sound- Jesper Kyd returns to compose the music for Hitman Blood Money and he does a terrific job. The music in Hitman Blood Money is one of the best parts of the game, the sound is overly amazing. The music might even give you chills.

Achievements- The achievements for this game aren't very hard, but not all that easy. They will take some time. Most of them require you to be extra stealthy for silent assassin awards. If you beat the game on Rookie, Normal, Expert, and Pro, you will get probably get about 600 GS. Some of the Secret Achievements include accumulating 5 million smackers, another one is becoming the world's most wanted.

Overall- Hitman Blood Money is a very great game for all Hitman fans, but if you haven't liked any of the previous Hitman games, you probably won't like this one because the core of the game is still the same. The Xbox version is 39.99 and the 360 version is 59.99 which is a big difference for almost the same Game Play. I love this game and I bought because I'm a huge hitman fan, but for most people who haven't played it I recommend renting it first. At least give it a shot.

Game Play- 8.9

Graphics- 7.9

Sound- 9.6

Achievements- 8

Overall- 8.6

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

I got this game on launch and I have been loving it. The online play is really fun. The online games are hosted on Ea servers, which kinda suck but still aren't that bad. It dosen't lag alot but sometimes you get disconnected which sucks.

Gameplay- Well there is a campaign and it is quite fun. All of the missions are kinda tough but they are very strategic. There are no savepoints or checkpoints in the game so if you die you have to start the mission over. The alternative to this is that when you die you will be hotswapped into a npc and then you can control him. So you can hotswap to any person on your team which is awesome.

Online Play- Very fun, you can have a maximum of 24 players on 16 maps. There are some minor issues, but EA is currently working on a patch. Some of the minor issues are not being able to hear people. You can see the icon which is telling you someone is talking but you can't hear them. This happen's quite often. Hopefully EA will get that patch out soon. Also the barrels of doom are hell. The barrels in the online play do not cooperate with the physics. For example if your in a tank and there is a barrel in the middle of the road and you hit it, you will get stuck on it. It really sucks badly. That should also be fixed in the patch.

Graphics- Well the graphics are pretty decent. For online play im shocked that the graphics are very steady and the framerate is perfect.

Overall- Great Game, Fun online play, Great Single Player.

8.6/10
