Splinter Cell Conviction Review

Ubisoft's Splinter Cell soft-reboot is more than ready to bring Sam Fischer back into the world of espionage and three-eyed goggles.

A lot of reboots are either loved or hated, but Splinter Cell: Conviction managed to be both. As action-packed as it is controversial, I wade through Sam Fischer’s most personal journey across the entire series. Turns out, it actually isn’t all that bad, despite a few chinks in the armor.

Also, skip the PC version — it has horrible “always online” DRM that Ubisoft never removed. Get it on Xbox 360 or Mac, if you have the choice.
