"In 2013, Splinter Cell: Blacklist came out of nowhere to return the franchise to what made it so great. A combination of Xbox exclusivity and poor reviews meant before Blacklist, I hadnt taken Sam Fisher out for a ride since he was on the PS2. The reasons for Splinter Cells fall from grace isn't especially difficult to nail down. In the days of Call of Dutys dominance and development by focus groups, turning a stealth game into a shooter made sense because it was all about the mass appeal. If you alienate your core fan base in the process, its only a small group of basement dwellers that wouldnt know mass appeal if it jumped down from a conveniently placed pipe and broke their necks. -- PlayStation Enthusiast
