Ah Splinter Cell, how I love thee. Possibly one of my favorite series to play on PlayStation 2. I remember picking up the first Splinter Cell shortly after its release for PS2. I was intrigued with the game, and its stealth action. I hadn’t played many stealth games before this one, and the whole concept was new to me. The idea that the game could be played without killing a single enemy. Except for the last one, its important that you kill him.
But flash forward a number of years, I can’t seem to find either of my original copies of the first two Splinter Cell games for PS2. But along comes Steams Community Market, and with my first earnings I decided to buy something from my wishlist, and it just so happened that Splinter Cell was on sale. So I picked up both Splinter Cell and F.E.A.R. for less than $5 total. That means Splinter Cell today, F.E.A.R. next week!
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is a series of award-winning action-adventure stealth video games, the first of which was released in 2002, and their tie-in novels. The protagonist, Sam Fisher, is a highly-trained agent of a fictional black-ops sub-division within the NSA, dubbed “Third Echelon”. The player controls Fisher, who usually has the iconic trifocal goggles at his disposal, to overcome his adversaries in levels based on Unreal engines that were extended to emphasise light and darkness as gameplay elements. All the console and PC games in the series were critically acclaimed, and the series is commercially successful. The series, along with Assassin’s Creed, is considered to be one of Ubisoft’s flagship franchises. -Wikipedia
