Splinter Cell

Unfortunately, I've never played this game, though I've heard a bit about it. (Most of the time, though, it is swamped by other topics such as Halo...)

What's it all about? O_o

Actually, it's a series.

The entire theme behind the games is stealth. It is actually done very well throughout the franchise, and although it can be overdone sometimes to the point of frustration, I hear they're excellent games nonetheless.

Indeed, the primary focus with the Splinter Cell series has always been about stealth since they are all very action-adventure oriented and stealth-based in nature (similar to MGS). You take on the role of Black Ops vet Sam Fisher, who is a member of a secret divison dubbed "Third Echelon". The Third Echelon's essential purpose is that it uses "Splinter Cells", who are single operatives supported by a small team to conduct covert intelligience missions in hostile territory. I can't say i've delved deep into the Splinter Cell series but I hear they are quality games and worth checking out. I am however familar (and a fan) of other Tom Clancy inspired series like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, both which make up a large part of my Xbox and 360 games collection.
