"Theres a really awesome feeling you get when you successfully sneak around a half a dozen people who dont even know youre there. Lots of games have built stealth mechanics into the gameplay and do it in different ways. Ubisoft has a number of different franchises that use stealth, but one of the most famous is the Splinter Cell franchise. Theyre back with another entry in that series starring Sam Fisher called Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Im generally not a fan of this type of game as I usually end up botching things about 45 seconds into the level and having to gun my way out. I dont get that opportunity as much with this game. Lets see what I think about it. What You Need to Know Splinter Cell: Blacklist has you take on the role of iconic video game spy Sam Fisher. Hes been through a lot in this franchise, but now hes in charge of a new group called Fourth Echelon that takes the place of an overly corrupt predecessor group. A terrorist organization calling themselves...

Overall, Splinter Cell: Blacklist offers an enjoyable experience that marks a step back in the right direction for the series, even if there are some major hurdles along the way. The single player campaign provides a solid 8-10 hours of gameplay and offers plenty of replay value, despite the storyline wavering between passable and weak. The game is at its best operating under cover of darkness, rather than out in the open under the harsh light of day. The co-op missions work really well so long as youve got a good partner (either split screen or online) and Spies (third-person) vs. Mercs (first-person) is superbly realised and has great potential to stand out from the multiplayer crowd over the coming months. In the end, it must be remembered that no single game can please everyone but you certainly have to admire Ubisoft for trying.

NPD: 3DS outsells Xbox 360, PS3 in August

Added: 13.09.2013 0:26 | 27 views | 0 comments


Nintendo's portable outsells home consoles from Microsoft and Sony in the US for latest month; software sales post first gain since November 2011.

The NPD Group today released United States sales data for August 2013, revealing Nintendo's 3DS was the top-selling platform during the month, outpacing the PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Nintendo did not reveal specific sales data for the 3DS, but Microsoft chimed in to say the Xbox 360 sold 96,000 units during the month, down sharply from the . Total Xbox 360 platform revenue (hardware, software, accessories) was $213 million, the most for any platform in the United States, Microsoft said.

Sony did not reveal August US sales figures for the PS3 or PS Vita.

Overall, US hardware sales were down 40 percent year-over-year to $90.8 million and every platform saw a decline. "We hope to see hardware sales improve with the launch of the Xbox One and PS4 in November," NPD Group analyst Liam Callahan said in a statement.

Overall, total industry sales rose 1 percent to $521 million, though this number only reflects about half of the true market spend on games during the month, Callahan said.

"These sales figures represent new physical retail sales of hardware, software, and accessories, which account for roughly 50 percent of the total consumer spend on games," he said. "When taking into account our preliminary estimate for other physical format sales in August such as used and rentals at $178 million, and our estimate for digital format sales including full game and add-on content downloads including micro-transactions, subscriptions, mobile apps, and the consumer spend on social network games at $528 million, the total consumer spend in August is just over $1.2 billion."

Excluding January 2013, which posted gains due to an extra reporting week versus January 2012, the last time retail sales were up overall year-over-year was October 2011.

Switching to software, this category jumped 21 percent to $305 million, compared to $253 million last year. This was principally driven by the shift of , Callahan said.

"Collectively, August 2013 launches made up an astounding 58 percent of overall dollar sales for the month and 41 percent of units sales, which compared to 24 percent of dollar sales and 15 percent of unit sales that August 2012 launches represented in that month," he said. "Due to a greater percentage of sales stemming from newer games at full price and have higher priced collector's editions, overall software average pricing grew by 25 percent."

Callahan said it is "remarkable" that Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sales grew over 50 percent during the month and were only down 1 percent year-over-year considering the arrival of the Xbox One and PlayStation is just months away.

Madden NFL 25 was the top-seller during August, followed by Saints Row IV and Disney Infinity. The full list of top August titles is below.

The accessories category rose 7 percent to $136.7 million for the month. The NPD Group said with the launch of Disney Infinity, which includes physical toys, the research group has begun categorizing these sales--along with Skylanders sales--within the accessories category as Interactive Gaming Toys.

"Sales of Video Game and Subscription cards were also strong in August 2013, and when combined with Interactive Gaming Toys, these two types of accessories represented over 50 percent of dollar sales this month," Callahan said.
