 Splinter Cell for PC video game review and cheats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Such a lofty claim needs some warrant behind it, but from the critical acclaim Splinter Cell (Xbox) received in 2002, it’s safe to assume the PC version will be received just as well.
Splinter Cell raised the bar for graphics on the Xbox in 2002 and thankfully, the PC version manages to look just as good as the Xbox version, if not better in some cases.
Splinter Cell isn’t without its faults, however, as there are some clipping issues and some of the environments may look a little jaggy due to anti-aliasing problems, but these are minor complaints in the grand scheme of things.

 Amazon.co.uk: Splinter: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I'd heard a lot of Becoming X and liked it basically as unique dark funk, but I had kind of an aversion to the populist-truisms-spat-with-sass formula of Tesko Suicide's verses and Low Place Like Home, which is the sort of thing that gets weeded out of a band's style as they mature.
As soon as it was released it was obvious that 'Splinter' was going to be overlooked, which is a real shame given that it is, quite frankly, amazing.
'Splinter' maintains an eerie yet beautiful atmosphere throughout and just because a song like 'Cute Sushi Lunches'doesn't have "single" written all over it, doesn't mean it is any less worthwhile.

 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Review
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher is as cool as they come.
Splinter Cell for the PS2 has one completely new mission--a good one, at that--and the original nine missions have been translated more or less intact, though they've been chopped up into smaller pieces and in some cases truncated, making the game feel a bit disjointed what with its fairly frequent loading times.
Or maybe you're still wondering what a splinter cell actually is. The game's title refers to the unusual role of Sam Fisher, a highly trained and experienced soldier working for a top-secret military organization, Third Echelon, that's attempting to rid the world of a high-tech terrorist threat.
