I thought the calendar said this was supposed to be 12 hours ago. I wondered where it was.

No multiplayer and some weird bugs, not a very appealing package. I think anyone interested in the series had already played them or passed on them and just played the latest Conviction. I played and loved every single one of these games on the Xbox and I wouldn't play them again in a package like this without some additions, seems this is just the raw singleplayer portions and nothing other than whatever business they did to make it run on the console again etc. Oh well.

Know how there is a Brad Quick Look start-to-death list out there? Ok, we need a Vinny Quick Look start-to-laugh or start-to-awesome list. For this video I believe it was 12 seconds.

The European version of the SC trilogy which was available 2 months ago was really buggy, you're save files corrupted often,game freezes,really horrible port from ubisoft similar to PoP Trilogy.

That sure is some low quality Splinter Cell play.

And the PC version of Chaos Theory definitely had multiplayer. Vs and cooperative.

I played the Gamecube version of Pandora Tomorrow. That one part where the office glass is supposed to be all ionized and cool looking, is instead just giant grayed out missing mesh/texture gray boxes.

What made it even better was that the dudes behind the glass could still see you trigger the alarm and end the mission. I just lucked my way through it and managed to finish one broken ass game.

My friend's Xbox version was pretty awesome.

Also the Dark Souls Quick Look was on PS3 & that was multiplatform.

Are there people actually excited for this? I mean i bought the first Splinter Cell on Xbox because it was one of the best looking games at the time. But i'm pretty sure i never finished it and looking at this HD collection is only making me wonder who's going to buy these games!?

I played the first game, but couldn't deal with how unforgiving it was and didn't play again until Double Agent. Double Agent was great, it felt modern but still felt like Splinter Cell, Conviction I've not played since it seems more like an action game.

As I understand it Pandora Tomorrow is mostly remember for the at the time innovative and fun multiplayer.

Chaos Theory is awesome and the soundtrack by Mr Tobin is one of the finest game soundtracks ever.

HD = hot damn!

Also... When I play these games I'm almost always in night vision. Ryan...

The goggles don't emit any light. The green lights are just for the player to see and 'cause they are cool.

I played them all on the PC, and they're not only the first, but in my opinion, the best Splinter Cell games.

I only played the first of the Splinter Cell games and I never finished it, but I appreciated it's unique take on stealth with the light meter and whatnot. It was pretty cool.

I read that these have no Y-invert, just like BG&E.
 
Also, how weird is it that these are only on PS3 and Conviction is only on 360?
