Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

 
Tom Clancy s Humble Tom Clancy Bundle Is GoodSep 2, 2015 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunHumble Bundles normally pass me by these days, but this week’s Humble Tom Clancy Bundle, is worth a second look. For whatever fee you fancy you can get Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, Rainbow Six 3, Rainbow Six Vegas, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Ghost Recon and access to the multiplayer beta for Rainbow Six Siege. Pay over the average of $8.09 ( 5.29) however and you also get Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Splinter Cell, and Splinter Cell Conviction. Less Patriot Games, more Pay-What-You-Want Games, eh? Eh? … Splinter Cell comic bridges Conviction and BlacklistOct 10, 2012 - ShacknewsSam Fisher is sneaking into the world of comics. Splinter Cell: Echoes is an upcoming graphic novel written by Nathan Edmondson and illustrated by Marc Laming that promises to bridge the gap between Splinter Cell: Conviction and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Perhaps the comic can also explain how Fisher is inexplicably getting younger in every iteration--and why his voice has changed so much? Speaking to IGN, Edmonson says that while there will be "fan-service," the comic has been adapted in a way to be approachable to non-gamers as well. "We treat the characters and story in the same way we would if this was our original creation," he said. To see some sample pages of the upcoming graphic novel, visit IGN. Some Ubisoft games unplayable during online service transferJan 2, 2012 - ShacknewsPublisher Ubisoft has announced that it will be transitioning the hosting of many of its online services "from a third-party data center to a new facility" on February 7. During the transition, which is meant to "improve the maintenance of our infrastructure and deliver better uptime and greatly improved services for our customers," some Ubisoft titles across a number of platforms will be completely or partially unplayable. Ubisoft preemptively apologizes to its customers for the inconvenience in the official announcement on the Ubisoft Online website. While there's no mention as to how long the transition of services will last, the publisher has provided a list of the games, platforms, and services that will be partially or completely taken offline during that time. The following six games will not be playable at all during the transition: * Assassin's Creed - Mac; * Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 - PC; * Might & Magic: Heroes VI - PC; * Splinter Cell: Conviction - Mac; * The Settlers 7: Path to a Kingdom - PC; * The Settlers - Mac; There are some games that won't be impacted by the transition at all. They are: * ANNO 2070 - PC; * Assassin's Creed Revelations - OnLive, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3; * Driver: San Francisco - OnLive, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3; * Just Dance 3 - Xbox 360; * The Settlers Online - PC (web-based); Ubisoft's announcement also notes: "The Online features of all games that are not mentioned above will be impacted during the transition. Offline modes will not be impacted." As expected, the PC version of Uplay--the publisher's proprietary online game service--will also be offline during the migration. It's also stated that all Ubisoft websites will be "impacted by the transition," save for the Official Forums and Solution Center sites. Mobile Games RoundupMay 2, 2011 - EurogamerAnother day, another Bank Holiday. Seriously, how many bloody holidays do these banks need? How about actually taking less than a week to clear a cheque. That would be nice, wouldn't it? Anyway, if you're reading this on the Bank Holiday Monday like a truly hungry mobile gaming hound, then lucky you, because we have a rarity – a pair of two-out-of-tens. You see, one of the problems with the explosion in popularity of the mobile sector is the vast number of chancers who try to peddle bottom-of-the-barrel sludge and stand there with their hands out. Well, guess what, chancers? I call bulls*** on your nefarious ways, and will do my best to ward unsuspecting gamers off your worthless offerings. But it's not all whining indigence. Three of our selection are rather good, too, and you can have all three for a sum total of 59p. This could well be the cheapest bank holiday you'll ever have. Coin Drop * iPhone/iPad - £0.59 (universal binary). With Coin Drop being the most talked-about mobile obsession right now, it is my sworn duty to find out what all the fuss is about. A bizarro combination of Peggle, Angry Birds, Breakout and Portal you say? Who could possibly resist? Like many of the unfailingly addictive time sinks we now have in our lives, the name pretty much says it all. You have coins. You must drop them. Forever. Specifically, they need to find their way into the five hungry receptacles stationed at the bottom of each of the 60 levels. Getting them there, though – oh ho ho. At first, it's simplicity itself. Just line the coin up roughly above the goal and down it plops. But then pins which bounce your coin around, Peggle-style, start to become a factor. Before you know it, you've got all manner of obstacles: spinny things, whirling critters, portals, you name it, all doing their best to disrupt your once-simple task. Judgement comes into it, obviously, but only a bit. Just like the ubiquitous Angry Birds and Peggle before it, you're kidding yourself if you think it's all down to your skill. Sometimes you'll just get that lucky break and squeak through, and then it's onto the next, even more vindictive stage. I haven't even mentioned the shaking. Yes, just to add an even greater degree of random nonsense, you can shake the device to jog the coin a little, and therefore give you a chance to influence its direction. Once you start employing this tactic, of course, you can't bloody well stop, and so spend most of the game spasming like a drunk with an involuntary tic. Sorry to say, but that spoiled Coin Drop for me. If the 'shake' could be deployed as a last resort like a Pinball tilt, fair enough, but when so much of your success appears to depend on blind luck, its appeal starts to wane. Full Fat is addressing this issue in a future update, but whether it disrupts the balance the other way remains to be seen. Either way, it's certainly worth dropping 59 pennies on it. You wouldn't want to miss out on a phenomenon-in-waiting, would you? 7/10 The Nig...Weekend Deal - Splinter Cell Collector PackApr 14, 2011 - AnnouncementAct now and save 60% on Splinter Cell Collector Pack during our Weekend Deal!
