It is now set for August 20th.........now....I need to fill in this space with something more.

So here we go. My friend is a massive Splinter Cell fan since the first game. Splinter cell convictions was teased and then disappeared for years. We figured it would never come out, then things got serious and with a heavily modded Unreal engine 2 it came out and was great in my friends and I opinion.

Now during that limbo of many years, it too was schedule to come out in spring. We were in Skype and he said "Splinter Cell: Convictions has been pushed back...." i asked how long. He replied "6 months." I went oh....then I heard BEOP. HE left skype......he never spoke to me for almost two weeks....because of this news.

I already said to him a month ago "Uh....I dont think its going to come out in Spring." he went "DONT FUCKING SAY THAT!!! AWW YOU HAVE JINXED IT NOW!! You saw how bad I was when Conviction was pushed back! If your right! Ill come to your house and kill you!" after a few more minutes of threats he said "Naw infact, Ill kill you if it does come out, for making me worry for no fucking reason!"

Well guys...it looks like my life is saved........except now my friend will just David Banner* his way into the sunset.

My friend has gotten the new and says "I am away......If not seen in the next few weeks.....consider dead." then eneded with "There is a new Trailer at-least."

I'd be interested to see a list of recent games that released on their originally planned date.

It seems like publishers just shit out a number at random to hype people up about new games :/

Reckon it will probably still be not great when it comes out.

He has updated his terms and says he will kill me now.......fuck.

Time for ME to David Banner away.

Considering all the stuff that went on with SC Convictions it turned out great. This time Its not so hindered (so far) and so should be just as good and even better.

Double Agent for the 360 that was bad. While Double Agent on PS2 was better. why? because different teams made them and the story even changes greatly mid way.

I have faith in this.

Looking forward to it still just because it will be a fun action game. But as I have fun in it I will feel the disappointment that it bears the Splinter Cell name undeservingly.
