A new Splinter Cell game will come out this fall…SC:Conviction. It will be about Sam Fischer going rogue trying to capture/avenge the killers of his daughter.

I’m trying to be patient with the SC crew, I really am. When the first Splinter Cell game came out – it was my favorite game until the second one came out until SC:Chaos Theory came out. Since then…while the graphics have improved, the story has gotten…dull.

One of the cool things about SC was you couldn’t just go around shooting things….you had to figure it out. Stealth was more valuable than just shooting stuff. These last two offerings – Double Agent and it appears Conviction will be the same – have stunned me with their graphics and artistry…frustrated me with an increased leaning to being just another shooter game.

Plus…the language has gotten worse from game to game. Why exactly bad guys have to use bad language is beyond me. But I will hold off on any official endorsement or condemnation until I play it.
