Hitman Blood Money

At E3 2006 Eidos were showcasing Hitman Blood Money, due out in the U.K on Friday 26th May on PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and PC. In Hitman Blood Money gamers will once again step into the shoes of the bald assassin, Agent 47. Assassins from Agent 47's contract firm, the ICA , have been elimited by another powerful agency. Sensing that he may be the next target, Agent 47 travels to America, where he Prepares to Make a Killing.

The game engine has been enhanced from the previous Hitman title and Agent 47 now has a number of new moves, including the ability to create accidents. The NPC and AI system has also been revamped and characters react more accurately to the action.

The action takes place across a number of well-known locations, including Las Vegas, L.A, and New Orleans and focuses on Agent 47 competing against this rival agency of assassins. The Blood money system has been updated, you can use your hard-earned cash to bribe the press (we'll have non of that round here - thankyou!), keep your picture out of the morning paper. Or you can customize and upgrade your weapons to match your personal style of assassination.

Interaction with the environment has also been improved, if you fancy dropping a chandelier on a villiain's head, or using a remote bomb to take out an opponent you'll have the opportunity and more!
