Just a public service announcement for you ladies and gentlefleas. I know its a few days late, but as you may recall, at E3 Ubisoft announced that in celebration of 30 years of stuffing your face with greasy game goodness they would be giving away games for every month leading up to December. The last game was, of course Prince of Persia – The Sands of Time. This time around Ubisoft has added one of their stealth classics, Splinter Cell to the selection and it appears that it will be available for mahala to all PC Gamers using the Ubisoft Uplay App on their pc’s.

Need some reminding what the original Splinter Cell is about? Check out the synopsis and trailer below and let us know in the comments down below if you managed to pick it up. I’m personally aiming to “catch ’em all”. Well the ones I don’t already own that is.

Released in November 2002 exclusively on Xbox and PC (followed by other platforms), Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell was an important step in Ubisoft history, the first blockbuster to be developed by Ubisoft Montreal featuring one of the most beloved characters ever created by the studio.

Splinter Cell’s core idea revolved around a technological innovation: dynamic lighting. For the first time in a game, lighting cold be modified in real time, enabling developers to rejuvenate the stealth genre and allow players to hide and search in the shadows. Players could also create safe areas by destroying lights, and had to adapt to moving ones.

The game was critically acclaimed and received the 2002 E3 official award for best Action Adventure game. With his light goggles and numerous stealthy moves, Sam Fisher immediately became one of the most popular video game characters ever, and the franchise has had continued success, with five sequels, seven novels, and a forthcoming motion picture.

Expect the next Ubi 30 game to be release mid-August.
