Blacklist is a really great game. The best Splinter Cell to date, even if some nostalgic fans will argue that the title belongs to Chaos Thoery, the third game in the series. Blacklist is a much tighter game than Conviction, and allows you to progress any way you want. It is easier than Conviction, but in a good way. Conviction's levels were made for you to advance through them in a certain, linear way. Blacklist opens it up a lot more, allowing you to do things any way you want. Plus, it is a true stealth game, unlike Conviction's action-heavy scenes. It also has a lot of side-missions, which are playable solo or in co-op, plus they brought back its really great MP mode called Mercs. Vs Spies. No, it doesn't have Deniable Ops, but you should find your fill of co-op action with the 4E missions, which serves as the co-op/solo side-missions.

I liked Absolution. I really liked the multi-tiered level, where you'd switch rooms and get a new set of obstacles to get through. I like open levels, sure, but I also like a tiny bit more linearity. Like the recent Splinter Cell: Blacklist, for instance.

I wouldn't mind going back to Blood Money's open style, though, as long as the game keeps its own rules interesting. Although I liked Blood Money, it was way, way, way too easy for me. I wrote walkthrough for it back in the days. It seemed like Absolution upped the challenged.

I think Spring Breakers to be one of the worst movie I've seen in a decade. Opinions, I guess.

I like it. When it doesn't crash all the time, that is. Reminds me of the Wii U's debut.

Also, the 3 hour-long battery life is fucking retarded. Sony should allow us to disable the big fucking glowing blue bar that drains 95% of the battery life.

The rebooted version of Lara Croft. She's manlier than Nathan Drake, for crying out loud! She gets shit done.

Props to Samus Aran too.

And to Big Boss.

The rest, especially if from an Anime/JRPG, can suck it.

It's more than weird. It's almost a crime. Freedom Fighters should be its own licence and has absolutely nothing to do with K&L. It's like saying God of War being the spiritual successor of Splinter Cell.

God damn this game was awesome. This game had such a powerful setting - a russian-occupied New York city. I remember how the time would progress through the game, seeing your character's hair grow and his outfit getting messier and trashier. You'd use fast travel through sewers to get back to your main HQ, where your fellow renegades and freedom fighters would hang. Oh man. I miss this game so dearly. To this day, I didn't know it was made by IO interactive, the guys behind Hitman. And now it seems so obvious, since the two games shared the same engine/looks. Anyways, this game was pretty much a sleeper hit, no one played it around me but my friends, whom I forced to play and then fell in love it it.

Anyone of you guys played this, circa 2003? I really wish you could legally download this game nowadays, like on steam or something. Was such a great experience. I could dream of a sequel, but how would it fit by today's standards? What kind of game could it be?

Also, it had one hell of a soundtrack, courtesy of Jesper Kyd : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCpvHnGvNE

Infamous 2 is miles better. Prototype 2 is a fun power trip, but the story, visuals and gameplay all lack polish. You run way too fast to accurately fight most of the monsters you encounter, which makes the whole combat about jumping and using dive-bombs attacks.

I agree completely. I liked all of the RE's, but I also agree that some of them were seriously flawed. Even the old ones had a shitload of flaws. RE4 was great, but the story dragged on and the castle location lost a lot of the flair the whole game initially had. I loved RE5 too, and had no problem with the AI partner, even playing through Pro. Mode. I prefered RE4, but I liked the gameplay addition RE5 had. RE6 was good, but I didn't like how ( initially, at least ) close the camera was to your character. It bugged my eyes and I couldn't ever adjust to it. I didn't like the split campaign all that much, especially since you repeat some of the same lame missions with all the characters. Also, a boss fight in particular never seems to end, and continually morphs into something even more stupid until the game decides it's finally over.
