IGN has posted their review of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent for the PS3.
"The debate is over; videogame villains are dumb. You've probably come to this conclusion before, but the rocket scientists in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent take idiocy to a whole new level. They know there's an enemy -- me -- on their tanker ship, and here they are wandering the deck trying to find me with their flashlights... yet they keep pointing the damn things at blank walls and areas that aren't even dark.
It almost made me feel sorry for them as I ran up from the shadows and stabbed them right in their unsuspecting livers.
Brain-dead bad guys aside, Double Agent brings Sam Fisher to the PlayStation 3 for a successful campaign in almost every gameplay aspect that fans could want (except multiplayer, but I'll get to that later) and it provides an enjoyable go-round for any stealth-action fan. But let's start at the beginning..."

Microsoft presented a new batch of Xbox 360 games that received Xbox One X enhancements via Xbox One backward compatibility, and here you can watch how they run.
Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.
Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead
Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne
facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.
Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.
What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.
Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes
I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable
Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.
You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.
What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.
I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.
Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏
Keep it coming Xbox!
Splinter Cell Blacklist and Splinter Cell Double Agent join the Xbox One backwards compatibility list. Xbox One is the home of Sam Fisher, it would seem.
As well as every other console at the time. Heck, even the N-Gage got a Splinter Cell game.
It was the first adaptation of the book so I imagine they wanted it on every platform they could.
Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, PC, Mac, Gameboy Advance, N-Gage, and Mobile.
You know it was a timed Exclusive for the original xbox for almost year? Also had way better lighting and graphics compared to the game cube and pS2 version. So Technically it did start on xbox... 2002 November then 2003 sometime for ps2 and gamecube. I quick Google search will also confirm this
Wtf are you talking about it was on almost every console, the only "exclusive" was conviction after that all others were multiplat
Yep, original was only exclusive for holiday 2002 then it came to PC and other platforms the following year
The 1st was originally exclusive to Xbox, & utilized the system's advantages. Worlds better than the PS2 or Gamecube versions. You couldn't shoot out most of the lights on PS2, & levels were constructed differently. Same with the old Ghost Recon games. Always better on Xbox, which IMO was why Playstation only people pretended SOCOM was good.
Absolutely loved Blacklist. My favourite game in the series. I only have the PS3 version though, so sadly I won't get to take advantage of this BC, unless a good sale comes along.
It was so weird not hearing his voice, and the fact they made Sam much younger.
And built in mechanics to reward people for not being stealthy. Kinda defeated the purpose of what Splontercell is all about
It's currently free on the XBL store, they haven't pulled it down from last night yet.

How can the ps3 version get 1.1 less than the 360 version when it had more additions, that befuddles(if that is a real word) me. But whatever.
Graphically, the game looks good, but falls short of the detailed display Sam saw on Xbox 360 last year. Players who ran through the paces in Microsoft-land will notice a slower framerate and the loss of a few small details (things like a smaller quantity of fights during the prison riot, different textures on character close-ups and no goggle-toggle when tossing on Sam's specs).
You can't see me.There are other areas where Sam and company suffer from a bout of PS3 hiccups too
Why would they give The Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion for the Playstation 3 a lower score than the Xbox 360 version,when the Playstation 3 version was shipped with additional content and tuned up graphics?
Nothing against the Xbox 360,I own one too,I had Oblivion for my 360,but the Xbox 360 stopped reading the game disc so I had to buy a new one and I said why not buy a different version since I only had like five Playstation 3 games at the time and around twenty games for my Xbox 360.
But it's a little weird,don't you say?
you expect a little more out of a game that comes out a year later. you expect them to take care of any of the problems that plague the original releases... not a game that is basically the exact same, with a few minor tweaks.
Don`t you hate when your drinks have water in them and everyone else doesn`t.
