With over 22 million players worldwide, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has solidly established itself as an international phenomenon and gaming legend. First launched in 2002, the series now includes five titles and one of the most iconic video game characters of all time: Sam Fisher.

A cold-blooded killer taking on the hottest missions imaginable, Fisher is the man who goes impossible places to do impossible things that the world will never know about. The first operative designated a Splinter Cell by shadowy intelligence agency Third Echelon, Fisher is a master of intelligence tradecraft. From infiltration to decryption to brutal hand-to-hand combat, he has the skills, the training and the will to do whatever it takes to get the job done. With a cynical sense of humor, but a strong sense of justice, Fisher always achieves his objective - regardless of the price to be paid.

With each new release in the series, Sam's journey has taken him further afield. From the war-torn Third World to the corridors of the White House, the series has offered players the chance to go to the places where one man's actions can make a difference to millions. At Sam's disposal are the high-tech instruments of the modern agent's arsenal, everything he - and the player - needs to complete his missions.

Whether it's solo, co-op or multiplayer, this franchise is for those who want the thrill of being a secret agent, taking on a wide range of missions for the highest stakes imaginable.
