Title: Splinter Cell Conviction
Post by: Spanky on Saturday, September 04, 2010, 00:00:24 AM
This is my first time playing the Splinter Cell series and I'm quite impressed. I'm not sure about the others in the series but this one is more of a 3rd person shooter. The abilities such as looking under doors, marking enemies then taking them all out quickly, climbing walls, pulling people out of windows, climbing pipe and attacking people from above, staying in the shadows to be hidden, this game just has it all. It's all seamless and natural too. Some screenshots and explanations:

You can take people as a human shield:

This game is just so enjoyable and I've probably spent just 30 minutes on it, if that. I can't wait to see what else comes.

The $60 price tag and the 5 hour campaign turned me away from it.

There's multiplayer too apparently.
