I wonder if they'll put shitty ads in their games as well?

I like Hitman. Pretty open-ended. Be violent and noisy or be a silent ninja.

Nice to see some good games coming to steam.

I thought games on Steam were supposed to be getting cheaper. Most of those games can be gotten off of Amazon.com for less than $10.

Valve doesn't set the prices for 3rd parties.

Eidos joins the ranks of publishers who can add advertisements to your game any time they want to.

I actually own the first three entries in the Hitman series. I haven't picked up Blood Money yet, so I'm curious what others thought of it. Hitman: Contracts was enjoyable, though a bit of a rip off from the missions of the original. Don't know why it's not on that list, but I'd guess it would be in the same category as Silent Assassin.



I'm curious about Commandos... anyone like it? "Commandos 3: Destination Berlin" came bundled with my video card but I never bothered playing it -- I far too easily find 2-3 games that I can rotate between to keep myself entertained endlessly, and currently those are primarily Hero Online, the occasional CS:CZ online, and some Zen of Sudoku for relaxing. I occasionally toss some SP FPS in there like SiN:Ep1 or HL:S from time to time, but that typically pretty much fills out my need for diversity in gameplay.



Speaking of the price of games... if you want to play a free MMO with no ads and no monthly fee, check out Hero Online. Yes, this is me basically dealing eCrack to kiddies in a dark alley, but it's just an interesting example of how a game can be completely free with no advertisements whatsoever, and yet still be quite successful.

I was once asked what color the sky was on my planet, but I think this comment beats that. :)

i would say blood money is my favorite in the series so far.

i loved the original commandos back in 98...i'm def considering buying the entire pack...



haven't played the newer ones but yeh the first couple of originals were great

[Thortok2000]

Just make sure not to buy it on Steam, because they can ad adds anytime they want.

Oh my gosh Thortok2000, thank you for that incredible piece of info, I mean, the first time you said it, I didn't believe you, but then you posted it a second time and, well, you've opened up my eyes man, thank you so much my guardian angel!



Douche bag, quit trolling.



Valve did good on choosing Eidos, they're a well respected company. Eidos and IO.
