FINALLY got Hitman: Blood Money today.

The newspaper articles you get at the end of each mission are pretty amusing to read because of how good or bad they made you look (reflecting your actions in the mission).

Here's the paper I got after completing the first actual mission: Headline and an upclose view of my kills.

That game looks seriously sweet. I'd like to pick up a copy sometime. I eagerly await further impressions.

Well, I just finished another mission, and some of the sentences got reused in the newspaper I got for this stage. Though, since I forgot to bribe the witnesses, there was a funny moment at the end of the article that was hilarious.

Is the game any good. The last Hitman game I played was 2, which was fun but it looked ugly.

In a sense, it looks similiar, but there are touches here and there that make it look pretty at times (though, considering it almost snowed all the time in Hitman 2, that's not a hard thing to pull off). Though I haven't played it, I've heard this game's graphics are on par with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory's.

So far, I'm liking the game. It feels more like Contracts (with Codename 47's buying system) than Silent Assassin, with a couple of upgrades to 47's moves. You can distract a person by throwing a coin, sneaking up to someone and then using them as a human shield, disposing of bodies in containers, hiding in closets, pushing people off of railings, among other stuff. It seems overwhelming at first, but it becomes easy, fast.
