One of the high points of Microsoft’s somewhat lackluster press conference was the first gameplay demo for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The game seems to build on some of the cool aspects that were implemented in Conviction. While I feel like the series is starting to stray too far from its stealth roots, the gameplay still looks like loads of fun. My biggest complaint with the game so far, however, is the same one that I imagine most people will have. MICHAEL IRONSIDE ISN’T THE VOICE OF SAM FISHER ANYMORE! That is going to be very hard for me to get over.
