newdarkcloud plays Hitman: Blood Money - Episode 8 - Shotgun Wedding

Another episode in Mississippi, this time we go to murder a groom and his would-be father-in-law at a his wedding.

newdarkcloud plays Hitman: Blood Money - Episode 6: Part 1 - Hot Tub Murder Machine

This next one is short, but I promise to make up for it.



It only occurs to me now, but they could easily solve that subtitle problem by just shifting the subtitles down into the black space under the cutscenes. They're half-in and half-out of the shot.

newdarkcloud plays Hitman: Blood Money - Episode 5: Part 2 - Late to the Murder Party

Welcome to the party. I hope you remembered your chicken suit.



One thing I noticed about this mission after watching the tape is that the chicken suits serve an second purpose, other than just being a joke.
