User Rating: 9 | Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (Collector's Edition) X360
Splinter Cell: Conviction had me skeptical for as long as I had been hearing about it. Ubisoft has proved me wrong. This game was the last of only three video games to force me to play ALL THE WAY THROUGH without stopping...others were GTA San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. While the character animations may not be as fluid and realistic as Double Agent's, they definitely leave more room for the awesomely addictive gunplay. Mark and Execute is the coolest thing ever; it's the only thing that makes you feel like more of a badass without actually having to work for it. Interrogation sections are hilarious and brutal, chase scenes are tense and the overall story is just as good as the other games. This one definitely deserves a look. The ONLY problem I had with the game is...it's kind of short. That's becoming a problem these days with so much focus on Co-op and multiplayer; other than that, this is a Grade AAA game.
