Maybe you’ve been vacationing on Pitcairn Island since the beginning of April and you haven’t gotten news yet, but a month or so ago millions of documents were leaked to the press from the Mossack Fonseca law firm in Panama. These papers reveal how hundreds, or potentially thousands of wealthy individuals have been using offshore…

Wow. Over ten percent of all the traffic that has ever gone through this blog went through in the past week in response to my previous post about Chaos Theory. Needless to say, that was totally unexpected. I realized sometime in the evening last Saturday that it was Chaos Theory's 10 year Anniversary and decided…

I realized earlier today that it’s been ten years since Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory shipped. Obviously, a lot has changed in that time, but I’m not going to wax nostalgic about that.

Kasavin gave the original Splinter Cell an 8.6 when the…

The new IGN Readers Choice list of the Top 100 games of all time just pegged Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory at #18. That puts it one ahead of Super Mario 64 (suck it down plumber-boy), and one behind GTA: San Andreas – which in my honest opinion should be a lot higher than 17th. They…

The last issue of The Escapist has a pretty good article by Will Hindmarch about enriching the immersive play experience through the use of NPC dialog. The games he draws on for his examples are Thief: The Dark Project (one of my all time favorite games) and my own last game, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.…
