Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a series of award-winning action-adventure stealth video games the first of which was released in 2002, and their tie-in novels. The protagonist Sam Fisher is a highly-trained agent of a fictional black-ops sub-division within the NSA, dubbed "Third Echelon". The player controls Fisher to overcome his adversaries in levels based on Unreal engines that were extended to emphasise light and darkness as gameplay elements. All the console and PC games in the series were critically acclaimed, and the series is commercially successful. The series, along with Assassin's Creed, is considered to be one of Ubisoft's flagship franchises, selling more than 22 million copies as of June 2010.

This game is awesome, aiight? it has climb-anything elements in it that Xires like so much. But what I love about it so much is the stealthy gameplay. The game is completely based on stealthy gameplay.
I have played all of the Splinter Cell games (except for Blacklist which came out just now), even the mobile Jar games and PSP versions.
"Pandora tomorrow", "Chaos theory", "Double agent" and "Conviction" were all amazing. I played "Double agent" like 5 times over!
"Conviction" was one of the games that had a continued story but Sam would be running around in casual clothes doing what he does best - kicking government ass.
Regardless, "Splinter Cell" is in my top games list somewhere near the top.
