Splinter Cell
January 02, 2008 Filed in: Video Games
It's a new year and I finished another game yesterday. After completing the Neverwinter Nights campaign, I decided to squeeze in one more game over my Christmas vacation. I selected Splinter Cell, an excellent third-person action/shooter game, and played through it in roughly one week. The focus of Splinter Cell is on stealth rather than running and gunning.
You assume the role of Sam Fisher, an agent with the NSA. The primary villain of the story is Georgian president Kombayn Nikoladze. Sam Fisher is sent around the world on various missions and is eventually sent to kill Nikoladze. The game has a similar feel to the television series 24. However, Sam Fisher takes a stealthier approach than Jack Bauer in most cases.
It was a lot of fun to play. For now, I am going to stick with Max Payne as my favorite third-person shooter. Regardless, Splinter Cell was plenty good enough to earn it a place on my All-Time Favorites list.
