Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist vs Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception lets you slide into the shoes of treasure hunter extraordinaire, Nathan Drake, once again where the search for the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands" brings him and his mentor to the middle of the Arabian Desert. However, this time, they are going up against a powerful and shadowy organization that will do whatever it takes to put an end to their hunt... and to them. Interestingly, unlike the previous games, Uncharted 3 lets you travel to a variety of beautifully rendered locations from Europe to the Middle East. Couple that with an award-winning story and Hollywood-styled cinematic experience and you'll get an epic game that somehow managed to bring Nathan's exhilarating adventures to life!The gameplay also has been drastically improved, allowing players to take on enemies using a more variety of methods including stealth. There is even a multiplayer option and various new challenges that will put your skills as a treasure hunter to the test.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is perfectly designed for both fans and newcomers alike, but of course, if you're a fan, you'll probably want to have this game in your Playstation's library. It is possibly the best game from the Uncharted franchise yet!
