Hey guys, a friend of mine told me about a game called The Ship for HL2, and at first glance i thought it was "meh"...but man once i got my hands on the game its probly one of the best fps i have ever played.
A rough story is, a man named Mr. X invited several assassins to his ship to see interesting kills. Mr. X will pay more money if you kill someone with a certain weapon. Anyways, your character will start the game with a quarry (the person they have to kill), and a hunter. You dont know who your hunter is (its random), just like your quarry doesnt know your hunting him. So you go around the ship and look for items, clothes to change your look, and other various items to suit your needs. Every weapon has a $$ amount, that goes up if it isnt used to kill someone. Once someone is killed with that weapon, the money amount goes down to 100$. Basicly, this game isnt about how many kills you have, its about who has the highest money. Now for the twist, while your playing, you also have to balance your needs: eat, drink, sleep, pee, poo, etc etc... this is usually the best time to strike your quarry (sleep is the best because the screen goes black and they cant see whats going on). There is also various other ways to kill your quarry, like using the freezer and locking them in there and such.
All while your on the ship, you cant kill your quarry out in the public. If you do, you may be spotted by security cameras and sent to jail. In jail your hunter is told where you are, so once you are released, it usually means trouble for you. So this means, that you will want to stalk your quarry without him knowing, because if he suspects it, he might kill you.
The graphics and sfx in the game are GREAT! You can tell a lot of work has gone into this game.
An example of one of my kills this morning was: i was stalking my quarry, and he had just ran out of a 3rd class room and across the hall into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I waited a second or two, then proceeded to follow him, and once inside i saw that one of the stall doors were closed. *evil grin* I opened up the door, found my quarry taking a poop, and wacked him in the face afew times with a shovel and netted myself a great deal of $!

To sum it up, this game is: The Sims + Hitman + online = The Ship
