    Tom Clancy sale is very "meh" for me. I might have jumped on a huge bundle, with amazing savings, but this isn't that.

    The steam forums are riddled with threads of 'won't work' for the splinter cell series.

    What's the DRM for the STEAM Splinter Cell games?

    Does it still use StarForce or whatever that abysmal mess was called?

    Conviction uses the same DRM that AC2 uses. you must have an active internet connection to start the game.
    If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

    I believe Chaos Theory uses Starforce.

    Ended up passing on Splinter Cell. Not that Im concerned with the price or DRM, just with my declining game time I have to pick and choose what games I play and alot of games dont make the cut. Seems to be happening alot with Steam sales lately, I just know I wont have time to play regardless of price

    Exactly the way I've been looking at it. Two years ago I went nuts during the holiday sale. Still have yet to finish any of the games I bought. This year I didn't buy a single one. Every time a good deals comes up I put it in the cart and do something else for a couple minutes. Come back and the impulse is gone.

    Picked up "Red Faction Guerrilla" for $5 over the weekend. Really an addicting game. Some of it is getting repetitive, but the basic, destructible environment is really well done.

    This is a 100% console game, so much so that I hooked up a joypad to be able to control the vehicles. Even so, the ability to run around Mars and tear everything down with a sledgehammer is loads of fun.

    Well worth the $5. A great thing about playing games a couple of years after release is that they're all patched up. I read reviews stating that there were a lot of performance problems with Guerrilla, but I haven't run into any. My assumption is that patches long since solved such issues. The visuals are pretty good, not stellar but not bad. The physics are top notch, Half Life 2 level good. That's what makes the game. Everything blows up like it should, even the vehicles benefit from the superb physics model.

    Two thumbs up on this one.

    Red Faction 1 was sooooo much fun back in the ol' 56K modem days. I'm glad to see that franchise has had some success.
