Hitman: Contracts Unlockable: Mini Gun
The mini gun is held by a patient who is behind the locked doors of a basement room in Mission 1: Asylum Aftermath. The keycard that unlocks the doors can be found during Mission 9: The Wang Fou Incident. It is called Orthmeyer’s Keycard and is on Lee Hong’s desk in his office on the second floor of his mansion. After finding the card, finish the mission and save your progress. Quit to the main menu and replay the first mission. Head to the northern section of the map and turn right in the small room with the red flashing sensor on the ceiling. Pass through the west door and dispose of the patient in order to collect the mini gun.

Hitman: Contracts Unlockable: Dual Gold Desert Eagles
After getting the key card from the Wang Fou Incident you most likely went to Asylum Aftermath to collect your Mini Gun. After that continue thru the level and when you get to a large room with windows and the door ahead... STOP! One patient will be walking around and on your right will be steps leading down to a door with red lights over it. Enter that room with the key card. Walk forward until you find the Gold Desert Eagle Guns right under your nose!




Platform: PlayStation 2


Hitman: Contracts Hint: Come back to Life
When your health bar reaches zero the game will enter a black and white death sequence. If you are able to get four consecutive head shots on four different enemies during this sequence you will receive a small amount of health and return to the game.

Hitman: Contracts Hint: Master Key
In the level “Traditions of the Trade” when you are on the 3rd floor you will eventually see a vacuum boy. When he opens a door to vacuum the room, go to the door and pick up the master key. You should then have access to most doors.

Hitman: Contracts Hint: See Lee Hong
In the level Asylum Aftermath, once you get the double Desert Eagles, keep going forward through the second set of doors until you get to the last tank with a body in it, then look to the right and there is a tank with Lee Hong written on it.

Hitman: Contracts Hint: Getting the M60 Early
On the level "Deadly Cargo," it is possible to get the M60. If you don't get it here, you will have to wait until the 2nd to last level. Make your way to where the SWAT sniper is, on the building overlooking the ship. After the SWAT team attacks the ship, a helicopter will begin circling the area. If you shoot the gunner on the ship, he will fall to the ground with his M60. Make sure that you assassinate the target first and you kill the gunner while the helicopter is over a land area that you can reach.

Hitman: Contracts Hint: Reflection Ghost
When playing The Meat King's Party look at the loading screen of the slaughter house. You should see a faint skull. This skull is also on the pinball machines in Rotterdam Rendezvous.

Hitman: Contracts Hint: Drown fritz on TOT
If you can sneak into the sauna area, you will see a guard. This guard will patrol the area, trying to protect Fritz. CAREFULLY kill, of anesthetic him. Once you have taken care of him, SNEAK down the small set of stairs into the pool and fiber wire Fritz. (Fritz makes rounds of going to the bar, sauna, and the pool.) If it works well, you will see a "cut scene" showing 47 drowning Fritz

Hitman: Contracts Hint: Ghost
In the level Traditions of the Trade, as soon as you enter the building if you go to the right of the staircase you will see a set of double doors. Go through them and pick the second set of double doors with a sign that says hotel wing closed. Once you do that go to room 106 or any of the other rooms around there closed off by police. Go into that room and walk into the bathroom then go into first person view and look in the mirror and you will see a ghost.

The Ghost in Traditions of the Trade appears in all the bathroom mirrors in the closed-off wing of the hotel.

Also, in the room where the guard is taking a shower, it appears as if he sees the ghost himself. When looking in the mirror, he acts creeped out, puts his hand up to it, and then turns his head to look.

If you shoot out any of the mirrors in that wing, the blood splatter stops even though you still get a target.

Hitman: Contracts Easter Egg: Ghost Blood in room 106
In traditions of the trade it was previously posted there was a ghost. But I found something else. This only worked in room 106, but after looking at the ghost in the mirror if you turn around you can see your target flicker red. When it does shoot and blood will spatter on the shower wall. Very cool.

Playstations And Why They Are Popular AND FANTASTIC

Nati Roberts

Playstations are one of the most popular gaming consoles on the market. There are several reasons for this.

The biggest reason is the graphics. The Playstation has some of the best graphics on the market, capable of rending 360,000 polygons per second. This enabled it to render almost any image quickly and sharply, making it ideal for any game that you could play on it, whether it was taking jewels from a safe, sniping a villain, or slamming someone to the floor. The images were gorgeous, and are among the industry’s best.

The controls are a dream; very responsive, and easy to learn, the controls are some of the best designed in the gaming industry. Although the games themselves may have had some ridiculous problems, the Playstation’s controls themselves allowed any player to master the game to whatever level the player was capable of. Capable of handling up to four controllers with appropriate hardware, the Playstation could easily keep a group playing for days.

The Playstation was also the first console to integrate a DVD player into itself. This allowed the interesting situation of the owner being able to watch an anime, and then play a game based on that anime, all on the same piece of equipment; a great development on a console. Of course, it was a fully-functioning player, with all the features that you would expect from a DVD player; you could find an Easter egg on the player just as easily as you could on the games.

And the variety of the games is definitely not second-rate. With the Game Cube being for kids, and the XBox for showing off, the Playstation seemed to be a personal industry favorite. You could find games for any genre, any rating. You could find the standard fighting games, platform jumpers, and side-scrollers, as well as some truly weird games (such as Cubivore, a game of evolution modeled on actual theories). There were some dating games available, as well as games that were compilations of other games from years past. Not only did it have the best games of today, but best games of yesteryear. The Playstation literally had a game for anyone, with a strong line of educational games and more illicit games for other ages.

The system had few weaknesses. The DVD player wouldn’t last, having to be repaired after a relatively short time. Also, there were only spaces for two controllers. At least the memory cards could hold more game records than other games.

In short, the Playstation is easily one of the best consoles ever designed. The console can keep a group of guys spellbound for hours, and then a little girl could take over the system with her own games. There’s a lot to be said about a console that can allow even the youngest child a wide range of entertainment options, including education games and Disney DVDs. A good console for a good time.

Quality Vs Quantity in Video Games




This is the risk developers find with making their games longer. With a limited number of hours to play video games, I will not finish games that I find go on for a long time if I am not a huge fan of them. This decreases its value for me because I will never get to see the conclusion of the story or square off against the toughest boss enemies that the game has to offer.
Is there a perfect sweet spot for games to reach, where they provide enough content without getting tedious midway through the game? Should all games have a minimum length, say 10 hours? 15 hours? Should shorter games be cheaper because of their length? Is it better Video games are one of the most popular forms of entertainment, now rivaling the film and music industries. Compared to movies and music, video games are much more expensive per purchase. On iTunes a typical album goes for about $10 and DVD movies generally are under $30. Meanwhile full retail games usually go for $60 on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 ($50 for PC and Wii). The current economic downturn has hurt most businesses worldwide, and video games are no exception. Game sales are down substantially from just a couple of years ago and many companies are being forced to lay-off workers and whole development teams. For consumers it is more important than ever to choose games that are a good value. Determining what exactly makes a game a good value is a difficult question to answer, as proven by the drastic difference in sales from one game to another.




A lower cost is a sure way to increase value. Digital distribution does allow for this as publishers do not have to charge for the cost of shipping a game to stores. Every major current gaming platform (PC, 360, PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP) allows in some capacity for digitally downloaded games. The newly announced PSP Go will only allow for downloadable games. This is certainly a good trend but it is not quite the solution, at least not yet. For starters, the vast majority of games are still purchased at retail. There are a few reasons for this. Console manufacturers are just starting to integrate fully featured games into their download services and so most of the major titles cannot be purchased this way. Console gamers will also need an adjustment period to get used to the concept so even as more games become available through Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, there will still be a period of time that retail purchases outsell their downloadable counterparts. Secondly, there has yet to be a noticeable cut in price for buying the downloadable releases. Buying a new release on the Steam download service for PC generally saves a couple dollars, but isn't the drastic cut that was expected. Also, games designed with the downloadable market are still generally less fleshed out than standard releases. Battlefield 1943 for example is a download-only game recently released that has the same style gameplay as the retail versions in the series such as Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142. However, it only has 4 multiplayer maps and 3 classes to use. This is far fewer than the previous entries. So even if Battlefield 1943 is cheaper, it is cheaper because there is less content.
So for the most part, price will not be the determining factor of games just yet. They are usually the same price as competing games.
In that case it comes down to the game itself when looking at value. Some games offer tremendous amounts of content. Supreme Commander takes about 30 hours to complete, The Orange Box could take even more to finish all of the included games, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion could last for over 100 hours if a player chose to see all it has to offer. Then there are multiplayer focused games that could provide an infinite amount of replayability. Call of Duty 4 has gotten over 100 hours of online play from certain people and World of Warcraft has so much to it that Blizzard charges $15 per month to play it and still sees millions of users play for years.
On the flip side, Call of Duty 4 takes under 10 hours to plow through its excellent, but brief single player campaign. The God of War games are critically acclaimed but none of them are very long and do not provide any multiplayer gameplay either.
This leads to the important question. What makes a game worth buying? If it is the number of hours to finish than role playing games such as Final Fantasy and Fallout 3 are surely at the top of the list. However, it is impossible to measure the hours required to finish a multiplayer game. Going back to Call of Duty 4, you can see all of the maps and modes in just a couple of hours, but some people keep coming back for more.
The answer to the question will surely vary from person to person. For me the best value is a high-quality, high-content experience. I have currently played Oblivion for over 40 hours, have not finished it, and still enjoy playing it. That is undeniably good value. It gets harder to choose when it comes to games that are short but sweet and games that are long but mediocre.
Braid, a downloadable game for Xbox Live Arcade and PC is a Super Mario-style platformer with a twist that your character can manipulate time to solve puzzles. I purchased this game and finished it after just 4 or 5 hours of play. The game even has a mode to try and beat in 45 minutes, acknowledging how short it really is. There is no multiplayer either and so I have not gone back to it after finishing it. That said, I absolutely loved the game. Everything from the unique gameplay, to the soundtrack, to the storyline fits really well together. The game costs money though, and I got far fewer hours of it than I did with other games.
I have been told that Titan Quest for PC can take up to 40 hours to finish. While I appreciate the developers trying to extend the length of the game, I personally did not fall in love with the game. I put in about 5 or 6 hours into it and although there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, I ended up moving on to another game and never completed it. It might have the potential to be a worthwhile purchase, but I did not get as much out of it as I had hoped for the price I paid.
for a game to be short and excellent or long and good, but not great? I don't know if I can answer these questions but I would love to hear from anyone who has an opinion on the topic.

This site provides estimates for the length of various games that we have completed as well as articles like this one considering the value of games. We are continuing to add to our database of game-times and welcome reader contributions of how long it took them to finish certain games.
