Hitman: Blood Money vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Hitman: Blood Money
Hitman: Blood Money is another installment of the hit franchise, where you step into the professional shoes of Agent 47. With new improved gameplay and all the contracts you need there is a lot of excitement waiting for you.With a new engine driving it this installment of the game has a lot more options for you to play with. Here you can hide bodies and unconcious people in a much easier fashion, and thus reduce your level of suspicion. You can of course just shoot your way to the target but the stealth approach has greater rewards. There are more combat options, improved moves and weapons as well as a lot of new methods to dispatch your target. The story is one that leads to interesting places and it is worth seeing to the end and getting even more of the picture surrounding the mysterious 47.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
