Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction

Who’s your favorite super secret agent?

In Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ubisoft’s latest stealth action adventure game, you can be any kind of super secret agent you want.

Fancy being as smooth as James Bond with some of the most sophisticated gadgets an agent can have or do you prefer dealing with thugs with your fists like Jason Bourne? Or is taking out your enemies’ defenses systematically like Solid Snake more your cup of tea? Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction lets the players be anybody that they want to be as long as they get to save everybody at the end of the day.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction takes the players back to the world of Sam Fisher as fans of the series are reintroduced to Fisher again, only this time, he is trying to find his daughter’s killer after his daughter’s death brought the retired agent back into the game, so to speak.

Graphically, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction is a sight to behold. It really shows what the Xbox 360 can do. But perhaps the best thing I liked about Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction is this new feature Ubisoft added into the game that lets players interrogate witnesses in key moments of the game.

In one of the earlier moments in the game, Sam Fisher gets to interrogate this thug and we saw the game’s protagonist bash this thug’s skull on the sink, on the toilet, up against the wall and basically any form of concrete inside that bathroom where the interrogation took place as he tried to pry some answers from the beleaguered thug.

It’s a blast bashing a guy’s skull while you try to squeeze out some information from him.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction also has coop multiplayer with an entirely different storyline to play through separate from Sam Fisher’s adventures. You can even play with your buddy on split screen if that’s what you want.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction is one of those games that you just have to play. Solid Snake’s adventures may be over but Sam Fisher still has a lot of stories to tell. Play Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction now, exclusive only to the Xbox 360.
