Review: Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow HD (PSN)

August 25, 2011

There’s a couple of different theories regarding trilogies. One is that the first is the best, that the fresh idea that warranted multiple sequels is representative of a great idea that, while perhaps hampered by budget constraints, has real soul. The second theory holds that the first sequel is the…

XBLA Gets Combative with Street Fighter III

The latest Street Fighter legacy title to hit Xbox LIVE is perhaps the most under appreciated one. The game was originally released without much fanfare and didn’t really, shall we say, stand the test of time.

Gamebooks are making a bit of a comeback right now. Thanks in large part to the iPad, but also the various e-Readers out there, there’s been a number of developers that have seen opportunity in revisiting this non-linear style of story telling.

Review: Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory HD (PSN)

August 23, 2011

PSN/Reviews/Splinter Cell/Tom Clancy

This is better. After playing through Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell HD, I was wondering how Ubisoft’s other two PS2 spy classics would work in HD. Chaos Theory has largely resolved those concerns. From the outset, it is obvious that this is a far more mature production. The cut scenes have…
