Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory
Both the PC and Xbox demos are available for the third installment of Splinter Cell.
The graphics (on the Xbox) are simply stunning. As Gabe from Penny Arcade says:
I must have sat there and watched water pour onto a cement floor for about five minutes.
I know exactly what he means. Of course graphics don’t make a game, but combined with the physics, rag doll effects and audio it’s a fantastic experience. The demo takes place on the lighthouse level, and makes excellent use of weather effects.
I love it when game developers have a decent sense of humour, so go check out their NSA Training Videos and comic (drawn by Penny Arcade).
Playing the demo has made me re-visit Splinter Cell : Pandora Tomorrow (which I’d skipped for some reason). The game is very good, but the multiplayer is fantastic!
I’m finding a lot more time for gaming at the moment – I guess it’s because work is so hectic I’m preferring to stay away from the computer during personal time.
Update
Splinter Cell : Pandora Tomorrow is currently available on Play.com for £9.99.
