Double Agent or Blood Money?

For my next 360 game, I'm thinking about Double Agent or Blood Money...

I've heard quite a few reports that suggest that Double Agent is not as good as the previous Splinter Cell games (I LOVED the very first one).

And I've heard nothing but good things about Blood Money, and I loved Silent Assassin and Contracts, so who wants to offer their thoughts?

    I haven't played Double Agent but I absolutely love Blood Money. It was the only game i played for about three months after I got it. It has tons of re-playability.

    Download the demos on each on Live?

    Personally, I think Blood Money is way better.

    I don't think it's best to go by the demo of Blood Money. It did only include the linear tutorial. But yeah, I'd go with Blood Money.

    I actually didn't like blood money that much.. I felt like lot's of of the game was made to be done using a walkthough... I am admitably bad at games with strange puzzels like that, or twilight princess.

    There are two versions of Double Agent, the "next-gen" version on the 360, PC and PS3, and the "last-gen" version which is made by a different team for the Xbox, PS2, Gamecube and Wii. Get the "last-gen" version for the Xbox, it has a better story and better gameplay, and it's backwards compatible.

    <<BAMF>> your username is awesome, but don't sign your posts, it makes you look like a tool and it's against the rules.

    Anyway, if you do get Double Agent down the line, the original Xbox version is worth picking up solely for the extra co-op missions, if co-op is your bag.

    Hey, look here, I'll sum everything up for you.

    Blood Money.

    Can, erh, can someone just lime the game's name already? I can't remember how to do it.

    I personally loved Double agent (I found that speeding up the gameplay a little bit took away from the sometimes tedious times of the past, although I can see how in a stealth game where patience is key it could be an issue with some people) but found that Blood Money's controls were terribly slow (at least in the demo)

    Blood Money. Shooting the glass-bottom pool from far below, dropping mines all over the streets and killing dozens of people, or leaving a mine outside the FBI van and running away to a safe distance before blowing it up... I love this game. I've played all the missions over and over and I just seem to get more violent with each playthrough ;)

    ...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.

    Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
