Want to play Hitman Blood Money and Minininjas for free ? give this a try . I'm not posting the link of the site but if you want to know more check the source .

Square Enix has launched a browser-based gaming portal called Core Online. The free site currently features a few titles from the publisher/developer, with more promised soon.

Hitman: Blood Money and Mini Ninjas are now available, and the site says that Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (above) is coming in October. Tomb Raider: Underworld and Gyromancer are also listed, with Square Enix saying that future games on the site
will draw from the company's worldwide roster.

The free, ad-supported service supports the Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers (although some games do not support certain combos of those browsers and Macs), and users can click to any level within the games, as well as have their saves and
achievements stored in the cloud.

I enjoyed "Absolution". I still enjoy it. It's one of the 360 games I hung onto when the ONE came out.

I played "Blood Money" and enjoyed that too but don't really see what the big difference is.

What happened in "Absolution" that defied "Core Fans"?

Last I checked a self proclaimed "Core Fan" was someone who liked to moan on the internet.

Absolution was a much more dumbed down affair, not on the same level as blood money. having played blood money then going on to absolution it just was not up to the same standard. Its good to see that they are going to return to making hitman a great game
instead of average as the last one was. Too many developers stray from what made their games great to attract a wider user base and what you usually get is an inferior product simplified to be accesssible to everyone that the exisitng fan base no longer wish
to bother with. I sold my absolution but still have blood money in my collection

^^ Now that's a game I'm actually interested in. Mainly cause it's by Square Enix and Square Enix is just Square Enix. Square Enix. Square Enix. Square Enix. Yes, I'm obsessed.

Kane and Lynch
Hitman
Tomb Raider
Just Cause
Deus Ex: Human Revolution

However, Eidos is now a Square Enix company.

Probably will need to talk with
Square Enix since it's up to them to develop the games for Xbox One. Hope you're right, though!
