Yes yes, our favorite American spy seemed to disappear off the face of the earth a couple years ago. He was due back to active service on our Xbox 360's a couple years ago, So where has he been?
Well it seems his handlers "Ubisoft" had just about had the game ready to go when they took a step back and looked at some other new games out on the xbox and decided that they could do much better. So the mission was scraped, Sam was put on extended leave and Ubisoft trashed what they had and started again from scratch to give the game a new visual style.
Also in the next installment Sam will not be working for the Government this time, But rather be a fugitive ruthlessly hunted by the very government who's ass he has saved countless times.
Sam will be on the run from "Uncle Sam" exclusively on the Xbox 360 in "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction" by the end of the year. This usualy means a standard Novemberish release.
I for one being a huge Splinter Cell and Hitman series fan cant hardly wait.
In related Ubisoft news, we can expect a couple other releases soon. Ghost Recon 4 will be released sometime between now and March of 2010 (Christmas time most likely),
Then Red Steel 2 supporting the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the regular Wii remote, meaning that players will be able to wield katanas in a truly realistic manner. Red Steel 2 is promised to be out before the holiday season.

Destructoid have a very interesting article about PS3 Trophies and how they fail to compete with their Xbox Live counterparts. Read on as the guys from Destructoid explain the problem with PS3 Trophies..
One of the few good things Microsoft did for the games industry was introduce the concept of Achievements. Some of you may disagree with me, especially as it's considered quite hip to hate Achievements and claim they ruined videogames, but the extra level of interest and longevity they add to a game has certainly had an impact on my own game playing habits, and a great deal many others.
It was only a matter of time before Sony tried to follow Microsoft's lead and introduce its own take on Achievements. As of this year, PlayStation Trophies are now a mandatory part of all PS3 titles, working very much in the same way as MS' Achievements, with a few structural differences. However, unlike MS' Achievements, Trophies have so far failed to really add much of anything to my gameplay experience.
A rather underwhelming addition, marred by some key problems, Trophies have underachieved, proving that perhaps it's not always best to just try and copy someone else's successful idea and expect the same level of success (*coughmotioncontrolscough*). Read on as we explain the problem with PS3 Trophies.

COD WAW Map Pack 2 Japanese undead rising from the grave this June! Map Pack 2 is on its way, Due out sometime next month (June 09) for the 360 and PS3.
This next installment of download content will include 4 new maps!. 3 new battle mode maps and 1 new Zombie map.
Lets start right off with the new Zombie Map.
This map is new in more than its location,called.. Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp), it will include the first Japanese Imperial Zombies. But they will not be alone, they bring along their flaming HELL HOUNDS! You will get a new weapon to fight the undead as well, a Wunderwaffe DG-2.
What is the Wunderwaffe DG-2 you ask? Well thats actualy a good question, it translates to Wonder weapon and magic bullet. Through research I have found an article that shows this as a real Nazi weapon that was basicly an assault rifle with a big black light search light on it, I think for early night vision AKA Vampire vision, Hopefully it will also include powerful rounds. See a picture HERE
Moving on...
The 3 other new maps include..
Banzai, a "fight for control of a tall river bridge, deep within enemy territory.
Corrosion, which takes place in the ruins of a Russian train yard.
Sub Pens, a close-quarters map set in a bombed-out Submarine base.
