You know a game is very much on the money when the developers release a hefty amount of actual game play video almost two months before release. Batman Arkham Asylum was the last to do so. Here we have Splinter Cell Conviction and so it should, as they have had four years to work on it...

The game is polishing up nicely and it is starting to take the characteristics and fun of the original Splinter Cells. No good cop bad cop karma decision making, just stealth attacks and solo infiltration with the added bonus (if you check the trailer) of a very stylish in game signage of your objectives. Not sure if that would work in the real world as you would have to be a pretty dumb enemy not to spot them. I do hope the original Splinter Cell gadgets like the Sticky Shockers and the Ring Airfoils also make a come back. I miss those gadgets.
