Not really an FPS but whatever.
I've been slowly getting them but only played recently. Finished Silent Assassin and Contracts.
A lot of awesome ideas and all the missions are very flexible. Take disguises, turn off the lights, snipe them, choke them, plant a car bomb... very cool.
My only complaint is many times you have little feedback as to what's happening... like if you poison some guy's food he might die 5 minutes later.
Worth checking out the series if you haven't played them before.

yes you have a point, i did not understand when i was about 7 i believe and got my hands on the 2nd one(just so that your not thinkin"his parents are not very good parents" no they just trust me)i didnt understand the 1st real mission and ended up cheating my way thru just to see what the game was all about. I eneded up liking it, but i agree ontop of that there is very littile telling you how to do what they want you to do, such as in the last installment(their best one i believe) you had to go to an opera house and replace a gun filled with blanks,but the room of the actor that has the gun is so heavily guarde, im not asking to have them baby sit me, i just want to know, do i dress as a repair man to go into the room, or do i follow the guest in the bathroom stalker style and steal their suit and sneak in. I couldnt tell you how many times i replayed that mission just to get the cool video of the guy getting shot and nobody knowing it was you. eek

Hah, don't worry about it. I've been watching R rated movies since maybe 5 and playing Doom and such since 6. Though, Doom isn't as violent as a modern game surprised
Figuring stuff out is part of the fun I guess, but it does necessitate quite a bit of trial and error. It's cool when it works but you have to be into playing the same mission a dozen times.

I liked NOLF but I don't think it's as amazing as some people say. I got a bit bored playing it but overall I did like it.
As to Borderlands I'll say something in that thread...

Io Interactive has a wonderful sense of concept/vision , but their shortcomings are in presentation and gameplay. Good example is Kane and Lynch - great conception, but the end product was unsatisfactory on many many levels (lets hope Dog Days saves the series).
Moreover, this holds true for Hitman- they really need to rebuild (not just repair) the mechanics. The first couple of games are understandable [as gaming technology wasn't as evolved in the early 2000s]. But having Blood Money labeled "next gen" is a little embarrassing; crappy control and bad AI made the title suffer. They should take notes from GTA4 in terms of 3rd person character control and atmosphere.
PS: I wish they made a new NOLF game... that would be fantastic.

Didn't realize they also made Kane & Lynch. I got that recently as well and haven't had a chance to play it yet.
I do agree about Hitman... ots of good ideas but something is slightly off.
GTA4 is 2 years newer than Blood Money though, so I don't think they could take notes smile

yea i hear what you mean, Kane & Lynch were good.....for the first few minutes, it just didnt have the right things in the right place. As for NOLF, I think they came out with an expansion entitled "No One Lives Forever: I Spy" which i saw a screen shot in PC gamer a few years back(long long ago in an issue far far away in a landfill) that had Kate in what looked like the level where your in berlin apartments in the first game, but you had the 2nd games AK-47 and all the mimes after you, this made me wonder if they were going to make this one just some crap, like a mod some one made. It almost made me think(when it came out) that CSS half life 2 mod was something like that, but not knowing the origins of I Spy and making conclusions like this, probobly leads to unsafe assumptions.
