If you're one of those folks still praying for that time when Splinter Cell: Conviction heads to the PS3 even if it's a "true Microsoft exclusive", then fret not and heed the words of Ubisoft Montreal CEO, Yannis Mallat. According to him, "There is always hope."

Well now, what have we here? It seems Microsoft has further lightened the price tag on its Xbox 360 Classics lineup, bringing the price down to £ 14.99 (about US$ 23). Apart from a price reduction, Xbox 360 Classics also welcomes a few more titles among its ranks, so you can pick 'em up for less.

There's no stopping him now. Sam Fisher is most definitely coming - he can't be any more hungry for the truth. The crucial date of reckoning: 2.23.10. Watch the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (Xbox 360, PC) after the jump.

Good ol' Toys R Us. Still coming up of ways to make the boys go back for more toys. For PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, you get to buy one Platinum or Greatest Hits title and get half off on a second. Cool beans. Check the lists after the jump.

A sequel for last year's Tom Clancy's EndWar (PC, PS3, PSP, DS, Xbox 360) is apparently already being developed by the same studio who made the original. This time, the dev team will be focusing on the single-player campaign along with tweaking the combat chain. More from de Plater after the jump.

Starting today, July 8th, all the way until August 2nd, take a few minutes to browse through GameStop and you're gonna find thousands of games, both new and used, all at US$ 20 or less. Talk about a huge sale.

You know what comes next after the European PS Store Update, yes? That's right, it's the US PS Store Update for the week of July 2, 2009.

Mark this day, folks, because this is the day Metal Gear Solid officially sets its virtual foot onto the PSOne Classics service. At US$ 10, it's a steal if you just wanna play it. I've seen brand new boxed copies of this game being sold for almost US$ 200. No kidding. Also included in this update are a bunch of new Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour tracks. I have a softer spot for the former's picks, though, since it includes Spinal Tap songs. Gotta watch that movie again. It never gets old. Crank that dial up to 11 and check out the full list of new Store items after the jump.

They may both be stealth-heavy games, but one of the big differences between Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction and Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 lies in the cutscenes, with the former having none at all. According to one of the game's devs, this was a conscious decision made to improve the gamer's immersion in the story.

I guess we're still playing the "Where in the world is Sam Fisher" game. An update has been made to the so-far cryptic website for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (PC, Xbox 360) title that is set to be delivered by Ubisoft. And yes, it actually does make things a bit clearer, albeit still shrouded in mystery.
