Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

Posted 07/01/2010 at 8:29am | by Nathan Grayson

Somewhat ironically for a game titled Conviction, rendering a verdict on superspy Sam Fisher’s latest skulking, sneaking, neck-snapping adventure is actually pretty difficult. Here’s the problem: There are two ways to judge Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction—as a longtime series fan, or as someone who thinks a Splinter Cell is something that needs to be examined by a doctor before it becomes infected. The good/bad news, depending on which camp you fall into: Conviction is fast-paced, action-packed, and prone to bouts of random, violent explosion. Sorry, longtime fans.

Tom Clancy's EndWar Probably Coming to PC, Described as Modern Version of Total War" Series

EndWar, a voice-controlled RTS hoping to finally end the war against finger-straining controller-based console RTSes, may soon be expanding its supply lines into PC territory. Even better, the news comes from a source PC gamers can't help but respect: former Total War dev Michael de Plater.

“Yeah,” he said, when asked if a PC version of EndWar is in the cards. “There’s no reason not to.”

"Console RTS. Crap. Next." Right? Wrong. de Plater, currently creative director on EndWar, continued:

“The stuff I worked on previously was Total War, which are PC games. In many ways, gameplay-wise, it’s a modern warfare, Tom Clancy version of Total War.”

We're not completely sold, but de Plater's words certainly put a damper on our parade of cynicism. Besides, we can't wait to talk a big game while simultaneously attempting to back it up -- and type up articles for your enjoyment, all at the same time. It'll be a nice excuse for our ~~awful~~ ~~abysmal~~ unique RTS skills.
