10 Video Games That Reward You For Watching The Credits

10. Hitman: Blood Money - Agent 47 Rises From The Dead

The Hitman series is, above all, full of surprises. The games are veritable murderous playgrounds for players, priding themselves on their sandbox nature.

There are multiple approaches to any given mission, meaning that players are free to experiment and see how that chef’s hat or other obscure item will help them to assassinate their target. 2006’s Hitman: Blood Money, however, took the surprising nature of the series to new extremes.

When the game’s final mission, Requiem, begins, Agent 47 appears to be dead. His funeral is underway, and the credits begin. As the names speed by, the player learns that they’re able to move the stricken assassin --unless they don’t, in which case he actually dies-- who had merely been placed in a temporary death-like state by an odd sort of poison, to which Diana sneakily supplies the antidote through her lipstick.

In one of the greatest ‘post-credits’ scenarios is gaming, the barcode-branded brute then proceeds to tear through the attendees of his would-be cremation.
