Splinter Cell: Conviction Review — A Messy Mixture
By Zach Drapala
After finishing the cooperative campaign with fellow Bitmob Intern Omri Petitte, I was predictably interested in Zach's review of Splinter Cell: Conviction. Suffice it to say, we didn't share the same experience. Whereas I relished each garroted neck and bullet-riddled body, Zach seemed disappointed by Ubisoft's efforts. Maybe he should have played with Omri — that guy knows how to have fun!

Play it Now! God of War 3
By Sean Hinz
Debuting on the heels of several clones, God of War 3 faced Olympian expectations. In that vein, Sean hopes to quell any doubts about Sony's brainchild and its sword-wielding protagonist, Kratos.
