The new head of Third Echelon, Tom Reed, has some very definite ideas about what his agency (and make no mistake, it’s his agency) should be doing. Equally at home in the field or testifying in front of Congress, Reed is an operator in every sense of the word. Fast, cunning, and deadly, he’s exactly what Third Echelon needs to lead it in a brave new world of terrorism and information warfare. There’s no place for an old-school Splinter Cell like Sam Fisher in Tom Reed’s future.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction is a story of how elite government agent, Sam Fisher, turned the bitterness of his past into the fuel to drive his quest for answers. For years, Fisher has been off the grid and on his own, chasing his daughter’s murderer. But the trail leads him to Washington D.C., and Sam must stand against vast, faceless enemies and battle the corrupt government agency that made him into the merciless warrior he’s come to be. Free from constraints, he must now outwit, outmaneuver, and outgun his enemies to get what he’s seeking: the truth. The Xbox 360 version of Splinter Cell: Conviction will be available in stores beginning tomorrow, and each retail copy will include an invitation to this summer’s Ghost Recon beta.
