"Since there are literally hundreds of thousands of games out there, it’s no easy task for lead characters to make a lasting impression on the player. Once in a while however, you'll come across a leader that's different. Somehow, that character manages to set himself apart from the others."
"The Splinter Cell franchise has been kicking it stealth-style since 2002 when the first title in its critically acclaimed portfolio introduced series leading man Sam Fisher and his employers the secretive black ops organisation Third Echelon. It won over countless stealth converts with its stylish game play, top shelf graphics and well scripted storyline and remains one of the highest rated xbox/ps2 games of all time."
The Mumbai terrorist attacks claimed dozens of lives yesterday, and one of them was almost the videogame voice actor Michael Rudder, who starred in Far Cry Instincts, Prince Of Persia: The Warrior Within, Jagged Alliance and ironically Splinter Cell. A game which freqrently pits you against various terrorist groups. Luckily he survived despite three bullet wounds to the chest, he should make a full recovery.
"From next month, UK intelligence agencies are placing ads in a series of espionage adventures--including Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent--in the hope of attracting new recruits, reports The Times (British Newspaper).
Government Communications Headquarters, which is responsible for surveillance intelligence work, is hoping that virtual spying might give gamers a taste for the real thing.

"The objectives here are very straightforward. Due to the way that code is distributed by the publishers, Eurogamer tends to review the Xbox 360 games first, so the main aim is to play 'catch-up' and provide additional platform-specific commentary where appropriate. We're interested in any gameplay differences, along with peripheral or feature support exclusive to a particular console. But additionally, we're also keen on charting the progress of cross-format development more generally, so we ..."
"Earlier Splinter Cell games in the series tended to look better on the Xbox than the PlayStation 2 since the series was built around the more powerful hardware of the former. Because current-generation consoles are comparable in power, it's not surprising that the PS3 version of Double Agent looks almost as good as the Xbox 360 version, though there are some issues. For instance, the PS3 version lacks some of the complex lighting and shadowing effects that were put to great use in the Xbox 36..."
