HookedGamers Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

"One of the most pleasing aspects of the game's story is in the focus on the characters rather than the events happening around them. The Splinter Cell franchise has always been about being the man instead of the tool. In this way Splinter Cell has provided plausible geo-political scenarios that let players explore conflicts and the use of cyber warfare. Conviction isn't truly about stopping a conspiracy that threatens Washington D.C.: rather, it is about the franchise's principle character Sam Fisher."

I really can't wait to play this. It's out in the UK tomorrow but I really don't have the cash to play it and reading this review just makes me want it even more!

Natsu X FairyTail5154d ago

Who cares if it's aa or not?

does a Game being AA stop you from playing them?

Do you play

M.A.G?
WKC?
Yakuza3?
Infamous?

need I remind you that they are all AA titles with a meta loer than 9?

Fishy Fingers5154d ago (Edited 5154d ago )

Well that's how I decide upon my lunch, I stand and ask people I dont know what they think out of 100, of the chicken sandwich, then maybe the egg mayo.

I'll take my calculator and work out their averages, if it isn't 90+, well I just go hungry.

Thank god for metacritic to tell me what I like, without it I'd never play anything.

BlackTar1875154d ago (Edited 5154d ago )

so far.

All ive played and i recommend it.

Ill never understand why people will give natsu disagrees just cuz sure you may not agree with him personally but what he said isnt exactly false he is making a rash and general statement that falls in line with the above line of thought.

Well anyways everyone game is fun get it enjoy it and dont worry about score.

Before any one asks i only come into these to read the crazzies arguing. Its fun as hell : )

Game on people

raztad5154d ago

@cry

Stop the AA bullcrap, we all need to stop it. Many good games are 7+.

Sunny_D5154d ago

For real, I'm tired of the bullsh!t metacritic now... Some of my favorite games were not AAA like Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 or Black.

i was in toy's rus today after an interveiw somewher eelse i went to check out the game section and i saw the specail edition copy for $69.99 and the regular edition for $64.99 i was like WTF o.o

BlackTar1875154d ago

marks games up as well.

they have market there kids only want to go to toys r us and when they convince there parents most parents arnt gonna know its cheaper other places.

i hate the practice but it happens here in cali

DarkBlood5154d ago (Edited 5154d ago )

yeah if it that was the only place for some odd reason i could only get games from id say why the hellnot id rather pay the collecters edition if that was the price everywhere else but none the less i'll be waiting till boxing day to see it cheaper unless it ends up on the ps3 i'll get that version instead

mirroredderorrim5154d ago (Edited 5154d ago )

Yes. lots of business are doing this with food and other things. Take Beer for example; for 30 beers in a box, it's around 20 bucks, while 36 costs 21 and some change.

worm20105154d ago

good score, still not getting it until i finish ff13

TwelfthCrusader5153d ago

Are you STILL playing Final Fantasy?

So am I :P

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231865d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011865d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931865d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011865d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1865d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1865d ago
Movefasta19931865d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811865d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19931865d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011865d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811865d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1865d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1865d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim1865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2155d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222155d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002155d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2154d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2155d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322155d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2155d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2155d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

TheRealHeisenberg2295d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer2294d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F2295d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
