Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hopefully they won't do the obvious "main character becomes lord of darkness!" plot twist. Otherwise it looks really good. Robert Carlyle <3



Also I don't get why more people aren't psyched for it, new look Splinter Cell Conviction looks astounding.

I really wasn't looking forward to the game based on the previous iteration but this new style has me completely sold. I love the visual style, the pace of the action and the execute system looks to work really smooth too. Game looks what Bourne should have been.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I love all of the first three Splinter Cell games on the Xbox. They were a terrific mix of hollywood and authentic espionage, with excellent setpieces, great atmosphere and Michael Ironside building a great, properly charismatic character. The storylines were pretty hokum, but much of the dialogue was genuinely entertaining.
Where else would you grab a ventilation technician for information and the conversation would go:

"Something going on with the ventilation system?"
"Ow... ugh... hey, who are you?"
"Pretend I'm Harry Tuttle."
"Ugh... who?"
"I'm an ill-tempered and heavily-armed heating engineer who's asking questions about your ventilation system."
"I... I guess... I guess it's not working properly since the blackout."
"So, I guess it shouldn't take much to shut down that big fan I wanted to."
"I... I... I don't know. Why would you want to do that?"
"The adventure... the travel."
"Uh... okay."


Chaos Theory is obviously the pinnacle of the series (and the stealth genre in my mind) and a game any stealth fan should play through (Xbox or PC, not the PS2 or GC versions, though), but I enjoyed the first two just as well. I have Double Agent for the Xbox (which is different from the 360, PS3 and PC versions), but I've yet to play through it.

When they originally showed what Conviction was going to be like, with Sam's new bum look, moving through public crowds in daylight etc, I was interested in the story because of Grimsdottir's framing, but gameplaywise it didn't seem to offer me anything I loved about the Splinter Cell games. This new style is still very different, but displays a lot of the qualities I like, only with more energy and swiftness.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A Boy and His Blob remake is looking beautiful.
