Forgive me Father, for I have Sinned...
A few days ago I learned that there was going to be another Hitman video game. Honestly, this is the first time in several months that I have been really excited for a game to be coming out. I remember the first time I loaded up Hitman: Codename 47 and the supreme sense awesomeness that I felt for a game that said my entire inventory was a Silver Baller handgun, a set of binoculars, and a piano wire.
Then, a few years later they released Hitman 2: Stealth Assassin. Once again, our hero (anti-hero?) has come out of retirement to kill those responsible for kidnapping the priest that gave meaning back to his life. Following a trail of blood and tears you ultimately got sweet, sweet satisfaction looking down the barrel of a Walther WA2000 Sniper Rifle.
About a year and a half ago they graced as with Hitman: Contracts. Someone warned the prey you were coming, so you played the game as a series of re-enactments of the events leading up to the present in a sort of hallucinatory state. Some levels from the other games were redone, and there were entire new levels of blood soaked sneaking. The environments were sharper, and the non-player characters were more alert than ever.
At the end of this month the saga continues. Oh yes, I will be purchasing a copy of Hitman: Blood Money. Once again our man 47 is taking contracts, and this time he's not alone. There's another assassin in the mix, and any mission now could be a setup... This is going to be so, so sweet.
Did anyone else's penis twitch watching the trailer, or is it just me??
