Chaotic Theories

Yeah, yeah, I know. I still have a load of GDC write-ups to do. In the meantime, here's an interesting anecdotal review of the new Splinter Cell over at Joystiq. Apparently, the author's experience started out pretty rocky, as detailed in the first entry. However, things seem to be getting better. It's quotes like this that make me want to play this game:

"We took a few dry runs (no mercs) in Story Mode as spies, setting the time limit to infinite. Yeah, we looked like a couple of blind mice at first, but we were also kids again, exploring the woods behind his house. There’s something deeply satisfying about running through a spooky, abandoned orphanage, albeit virtual, with a life-long friend—knowing that in reality we are separated by over 100 miles."

I can't wait.
