No I've heard of it...
It used to be that MGS rip off, now it looks like an Uncharted rip off.
No point in competing with a multiplatform game :-P

All seriousness though I only played SC 1 and 2 and those games were very frustrating how you couldn't deviate even slightly from what you were supposed to do.

Like you knocked someone out but he just split second was alerted, START AGAIN.
And the checkpoints were always ages before.

MGS isn't really comparable to SC; MGS is a camp Japanese soap opera with giant robots and pretentiously philosophical overtones, whereas SC is at least grounded in a vague sense of reality (albeit the Tom Clancy version where EVERYONE is a terrorist).

So, for an extra $20, I'll get two stickers, content that I can probably get on their website for free (interviews, wallpapers), and an art book I'll flip through once.

I really love the Splinter Cell games, but even I'm not too sure about this...

But one of the stickers ..."looks like those fake bullet holes people slap on their cars to make it appear that they live in a warzone."

You DO NOT want to pass that up.

Sweet. So if I have the case in my front pocket and I happen to get shot, everyone will think that I'm dead and then when the shooter has fled and my loved ones are crying, I will slowly get back on my feet. They will wipe their tears away in disbelief and say, "but... how?" and I will slowly pull out my lucky collector's edition case with the bullet still inside it!

Right?

Then Fox News does a special about how video games attract violence and chaos.

How does something revenge my wallet? Perhaps you meant ravage yes?

Oh ho ho, very stealthy switch from "to revenge your wallet" to "seeks revenge on."

Back in my day you got a game in a cardboard box, and you thought you were lucky. Kids these days have it easy.

Back in MY day, you had to make your own games. I fondly remember a boy who had the genius idea of tying a ball to cup! He would try to get the ball into the cup, but if he missed, he didn't have to worry about a thing because the string, which was tied to both the ball AND the cup, would keep them together! A genius idea, I tell you!

My birthday, whoo!

Seriously though, stickers? They may as well include some of those rub-on tattoos.

Actually, that would be awesome.

This game will suck, majorly. No, I'm not some troll or a wanna-be, I've just been following the production of this game very closely (producers respond to questions on the official forums). It's likely going to be marketed as a stealth game (judging by the trailers), but in reality it's a third person *ahem, wait for it* SHOOTER. There are going to be ACTUAL PANTHER sounds in this game. Ubisoft, the king of repetitiveness, will probably make you collect some kind of *cool* dog tags and there'll be a couple of hunder of them in case you get bored.

Oh, and it's going to have instant headshot on two guys kind of lock-on as well as Sam kicking down doors with his foot (did he by any chance find the hammer that belongs to Thor?). I also hear, they're going to make them explode.

In conclusion, I can only *ahem* conclude that this game will most certainly not be worth your money. Get something else. As for Ubisoft, take a big **** you note from me, you've certainly earned it.

Quite frankly none of us care as long as it's better than Double Agent.

Double Agent was like a kick in the teeth after playing Chaos Theory for three years.

This game is the reason I'm getting a 360, but the ce looks rubbish. The amazing gameplay is what does it for me.

Hypothetical scenario: Sam Fisher vs. Jack Bauer vs. Jason Bourne.

Discuss.
