GameZone: Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

What it all boils down to is that Splinter Cell: Conviction appeals to a whole new crowd that grew up on creating distractions, using every single gadget in their inventory and dragging bodies into shadows. If Conviction is evidence of where Ubisoft is taking the series, they are about to win over a lot of new fans and potentially upset a portion of those already loyal.

Wow 88 on metacritic and dropping.
Decent AA title I guess.

Caspel5881d ago

I truly believe it's going to be a title that has mixed reception after the early high scores from IGN and the like are fanned out.

athmaus5881d ago

yeah i know mixed results are very intserting to see how game does in retal

Hill_billy5881d ago

How a game does in retail however does not mean it is good or bad, it just means it sells well or not. In the end, this will be a good game for those who like the series. If it sells well or not, it is going to be fun for those who want to get back into Sam's shoes and beat the crap out of some bad guys.

Jinxstar5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

I just watched the GT review and this game has some SERIOUS screen tearing. Anyone know if this is specific to PC or 360 or is it on both.... Kinda a big turn off for me. Was thinkin about gettin it on PC when priced drops but now maybe not...

Hands Up For Games5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

I cant believe (well I can) some of the things you say on this board, you are the definition of what a Fanboy is and a horrible Troll to boot.

By your logic Heavy Rain, Yakuza 3, MAG and WKC are decent AA tiles, funny thing is, I really enjoyed Yakuza 3 and Heavy Rain, did you?

The fact that you have so many Bubbles tells us everything that is wrong with this site. Backslapping and one upmanship on both sides of this 'Fanboy War' is pathetic and juvenile, very fitting for the people who take part in it though.

Another decent score. Count me in.

barefootgamer5881d ago

I might check it out. I'm on the fence.

StuartY5881d ago

I just want to know how Sam Fisher stays hidden wearing 3 super-bright green LEDs on his face...

Fishy Fingers5881d ago (Edited 5881d ago )

Ha, yeah that's always cracked me up, but in reality it was so in the older games when you were in pitch black the player could see what their doing.

Then it just became iconic in the design.

BeaArthur5881d ago

haha, yeah it's one of those things you just except about the game world. He's dressed in all black yet has these florescent lights on his head that nobody can seem to see.

Caspel5881d ago

LMAO. He doesn't don those goggles until late in this game now.

cmrbe5881d ago

Those 3 green lights are iconic for SC. The same with KZ helgast 2 orange lights.

Caspel5881d ago

I prefer the green lights rather than the orange.

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.

Bane352590d ago (Edited 2590d 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

hiawa232590d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352590d ago (Edited 2590d ago )

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

Z5012590d ago

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

Bane352590d ago (Edited 2590d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932590d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012590d ago

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

bluebenjamin2590d ago

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

Gwiz2590d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2590d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2590d ago
Movefasta19932590d 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.

Gaming4Life19812590d 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.

bluebenjamin2590d 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

Movefasta19932590d ago

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

Z5012590d 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.

Gaming4Life19812590d 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.

Hungryalpaca2590d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2590d ago

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

timotim2590d ago (Edited 2590d 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?"

AG1002880d ago

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

lxeasy2880d ago

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

ApexWolf222880d 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.

AG1002880d ago

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

Goldby2879d ago

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

yomfweeee2880d ago

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

BQ322880d ago

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

annoyedgamer2880d ago

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

lxeasy2879d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg3019d ago

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

Vectrexer3019d ago

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

C-H-E-F3020d ago

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

*Fixed*
