there will be blood

yes, i got that DVD for a mere $15, a cheap bargain considering it will be a classic down the road and i even the scales a bit with all the others i downloaded "procured". so get off my case.

but that's not what am talking about here. for double that amount, they issued a Hitman trilogy, compiling those three games that matter in the series (Hitman 2, 3 and 4). i don't mind playing games even after the world has moved on to the next big thing. i still use my trusty PS2, i sold my PSP, and the only reason i may get a PS3 when that MGS4 bundle comes out is to jump on the Blu-Ray bandwagon.

so here i am, back to being a murderer. emphasis on mass.

i have no idea what the Hitman game was about prior to this, and i vaguely looked at the movie adaptation with Tim Olyphant (i guess he missed the guns too much post-Deadwood). but then again, the title should say it all. shiny guns, whacking lowlifes in both low and high places ... what's not to like? (yeah you have to be stealthy, which i really don't do a good job of)

aside from the whole thing being a time killer, i usually waste more time piling dead bodies on top of the other. its some kind of perverse fun to put hardy male Russian soldiers in various provocative positions, especially after you've stolen their clothes. take that, Mr. Russian President!

as the game progresses (i'm still on the first disc, and lost somewhere in Japan), i learned how to cut down on the collateral damage (but its fun!), although i am still a goddamned mass murderer.


my only complaint is there are no extra health capsules for Hitman to use. did i miss something in the manual? (INRTFM) oh wait, there it is.
