Enjoy the cathartic thrill of a great stealth exploit? Here are five games that defined the genre.
Probably the most important and influential ones:
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Thief 1
Splinter Cell 1
Metal Gear Solid
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
Commandos
Honorable Mentions (Came before/Expanded on the genre):
Castle Wolfenstein
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Hitman: Codename 47
System Shock 2
Deus Ex
Bonanza Bros.
Sam Fisher has had some great adventures over the years, and MP1st rates 'em all! Here's all the Splinter Cell games ranked..
Easy. Single player? Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, The original Splinter Cell, Double agent, Dumpster Fires then on.
Multiplayer? Chaos Theory, Pandora Tomorrow, Dumpster Fire A, Then dumpster fire B. So on.
Blacklist had some really good gameplay though i just didn't care for the voice actor of Sam Fisher.
My list would be SP - Chaos Theory, Black List, Original SC, Pandora Tomorrow, Double Agent, then Conviction. Conviction is by far the worst game by far.
Never played the MP since i never cared for it.
Conviction was fantastic and definitely better than Double Agent. Can't argue with the rest of the list though.
Yep agree here. Conviction was always tagged as Hobo Sam but it was a fantastic game.
You forgot Double Agent on the Xbox/PS2//Wii its a completely different game to the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version.
It’s mentioned in the write up for Double Agent. But we just combined both of them into one entry since only the 360 version is story canon.
I actually agree with this list somehow. Chaos theory and then conviction. It’s very much up for debate.

No it has nothing to do with all those game delays, we’ll talk about that later. What? No it’s not about the Skulls & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2 falling off the face of the Earth, just listen. We need to talk about Splinter Cell. Don’t give me that look, you know this conversation needs to happen. The way you’ve treated the series, its fans and poor Sam Fisher himself is sad, infuriating and just plain disappointing and it needs to stop."
The Fish!!!
I'd love to see a remastered edition of those games as well as something new. It's about time.
MGS is done, at least as we know it so it's now or never Ubi, give Fisher the reboot it deserves. And for Gods sake, don't you dare turn Splinter Cell into another Division/Ghost reckon online abomination instead of a SP focused steath action game!
I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it
I think reboot the entire franchise the games were great but every time they try to make him human like a father or something it comes of as unbelievable
They added damn near every SC game to Xbox1X back compat enahnced list. That is a lot of Sam enhanced and I am loving it, but Sam deserves a new next gen game.
