Quotes:

[from trailer]
Alexander Leland Cayne: You think he's more than a man? I tell you, he is *less*. A virus. A pestilence. Whose existence we only notice by the death it leaves behind. He kills for money. It's that simple... that *grotesque*. He's due for a taste of his own medicine. And I'm the man who's gonna shove it down his throat!

A real step up from Contracts

I very much enjoyed the Hit-man series. Although I never got to play the first one... Silent Assassin and Contracts where aces in my book. But Silent Assassin just brings such a radical change in 47, both at the beginning, and coming to the end. Contracts was just too short and easy. Blood Money is the crowning achievement! It put's you (47) into the most dangerous scenarios of Hit-man so far. Difficult enough to present a challenge even to old players, yet easy enough so that even newbies can take a good shot at it. And it's storyline is just awesome ... It's by far the best game I've played since 2004. Can't wait for the movie! If you got a taste for stealth, get this game!
