In the middle of a larger amount of shooter and sports games, born one of the most acclaimed game since Pitfall. Splinter Cell series, with 4 games released and with over 20 millions copies sold, is a stealth-based action game starring Sam Fisher, a direct rival of Solid Snake in the world of deadly spies. Despite of carrying the latest and best gadgetry, Fisher makes use of the enviroment shadow to accomplish his misson as quiet and invisible as possible.
At his first apperance, in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (2002), Sam Fischer, a reformed agent of NSA, is called back to work in a secret division called Third Echelon. His first misson was to investigate the desapperance of two CIA officers in Georgia. But he uncovers a campaign of mass murder against the neighboring muslim population of Azerbaijan waged by Gerogian president, Nikoladze.
Back to work in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow (2004), Sam Fisher is now sent to Indonesia to infiltrate the U.S. Embassy, ocupied by Suhadi Sadono - leader of Darah Dan Do, an Indonesian militia, and gather intelligence on the invasors. The U.S. Army retook the place but Sadono had fled. Also, Fisher uncovered that Sadono masterminded a project called "Pandora Tomorrow", by placing biological bombs in American soil.
Fisher returns in one more episode entitled Tom Clancys's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (2005) to investigate the location of computer programming who had worked on the Philipe Masses's algorithm (Masses appears in the first Splinter Cell). As usual, Fisher went deeper in the investigation and a world crisis, involving his old friend Douglas Shetland, an algorithm considered a superweapon, Koreas and Japan may lead to World War III.
In the lastest game released of the serie, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (2006), Sam Fisher go on undercover assignment which requires him to pose as a criminal to infiltrate a terrorist organization based in U.S. This time, Fisher plays in both sides, in a very dangerous gray area where the line between right and wrong is blurred, with thousands of innocents lives in the balance.
The next game of the serie, expected to release in Feb, 2010, called Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, brings our spy agent to the next-gen consoles one more time. Sam Fisher will be back, faster and mortal than ever, in a game with new features and a non-linear missions - you can choose the way you want to accomplish them.
For the purpose of fun, I didn't' post the whole story of the game, so if you want to know, you gonna have to put the night vision goggles on, turn on your stealth mode and begin the crusade to save the world on the command of the deadly agent Sam Fisher :)
