As I try hard to thin out the list of games I need to finish I obviously can't withstand a good deal, thus increasing the list with new games. And so I bought Splinter Cell: Conviction for a bargain few days ago. I knew I would get it some day since I'm a fan of the series since the beginning but this fast I didn't expect. Always liked the stealthy gameplay but really love the new more-action-packed approach. For me it still stays true to it's original concept well enough to deserve being called a Splinter Cell game. Although I heard up front that it was pretty short I must say that increasing the difficulty can fix that. Certain parts I had to do over and over to finally find the right and best approach to do that what needed to be done. Which shows how diverse you can handle certain things in the game. If it isn't a silent take-down from behind than maybe a drop-down from above or better yet a throw-down&out the window. And I can safely say it's one of my favourite Splinter Cell's without a doubt even if there's always room for improvement.
