Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years
The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.
It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.
The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.
The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?
The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.
Injustice: Gods Among Us launched 10 years ago today, birthing a brand new fighting game franchise from NetherRealm Studios.
Injustice turns ten years old today, so let's look back at why it matters
Medal of Honor really is seeming to be more than I thought it would be...another cash cow sequel.
Splinter Cell is interesting too.
I'm still not sold on the line-up for Wii U. Ports like Darksiders 2 don't interest me at all.
Looks interesting
Just bought my fave game from the original XBox Splinter Cell but this time the Sony PS3 trilogy pack 3D-HD version. Am loving the entire series all over again.
Have also been at EXPO 2012 and saw the new Splinter Cell: Blacklist and have to say it looks gorgeous and the game play preview spectacular. Didn't really liked Double Agent, think they veered away from it's roots but this new Blacklist, has a lot of the original stuff plus more.
Looking forward to getting this game again.
The new Hitman 5: Absolution and Tomb Raider: Crossroads were side-by-side at the expo and also on my must buy lists.
