I just finished Hitman: Contracts. Quite enjoyable, though the Hong Lee missions kind of overstay their welcome. Traditions of the Trade is really the high point of that game. Also, I only just realised now that not only does the enitre game takes place in the aftermath of Curtains Down, the opera house mission in Hitman: Blood Money.
Speaking of Blood Money, I did want to move on to it after playing Silent Assassin and Contracts, but just found out that not only are the textures all blurry (according to the internet, the game just doesn't like integrated graphics processing), but I'm lucky to get more than 10 frames per second with the graphics settings at their absolute minimum. I suppose that's not happening anytime soon. I'm sad now.
