Convicted

Splinter Cell Conviction came out on the PC not too long ago (29/4/10) and I finished the game on realistic. I would rate this game about a 7/10 at this point and didn't enjoy it as much as splinter cell or chaos theory. Make sure you play it on realistic though, even that is easier than normal from the original game.

The actual gameplay is a little different than the other splinter cells and some people might enjoy the more action type game I don't think they should have gone down that route myself.

Platforming / level layout is sometimes pretty silly. You will have pipes in the middle of a room to ascend, you have a whole lot of moving lasers to dodge around using your "sonar vision" You have strategically placed boxes to hide behind etc..

The story is also pretty poor, and I've read a few bits and pieces about it being a good story well I disagree. The interrogations are nothing more than cutscenes you can move around in. Including a full on action third person level was move that did not work out well at all.

Multiplayer has given me more troubles than any game in recent history. Takes 20+ minutes to find a game and that's assuming the ubisoft servers are running. When I got in a few games I got disconnected each and every time. The longest I got to play was 5 minutes - then the game stuttered and crashed.

On the up side Mark and Execute actually works reasonably well and the deniable ops levels are much better than the single player levels, the game also looks reasonably good at times. I guess my hopes now rest on Thief 4 and Hitman 5 for some good stealth gameplay.

Screens!

My review for Episodes from Liberty City is up. I enjoyed it quite a lot, they made a few little changes to the gameplay but its really the characters and missions that I enjoyed the most. GTA 4 fans will love it.

Not really anymore games for me until June, when Prince of Persia, Singularity and BF1943 come along. I guess I'll keep chugging away at Bad Company 2. Red Dead Redemption is coming out on PS3 soon, any thoughts on that one? I might just wait and see what gamers are saying about it before I get it.
