Sharing the Love—and the Killings—in Splinter Cell: Conviction

Because nothing says “lovin’” like some hot shared ass-kicking action, Ubisoft has announced that Splinter Cell: Conviction will, indeed, offer split-screen co-op play.
Sure, I thought the game looked cool, and we were thinking of picking it up but, like many games that came before Splinter Cell: Conviction, I figured that it would fall under one of three categories:
a) The game contains elements that allow for two players to pass the controller back and forth (like UC2 and ACII).
b) The game is cool-looking enough that one person doesn’t mind watching the other person play (like Bioshock).
c) The game is super fun, and you really want to play together in the same room, but you can’t (I’m looking at you and shaking my fist, Crackdown).
However, when I woke up this morning, I was greeted by a tweet from fellow COG writer Andrew Carreiro informing me of this interesting development; oddly enough, the announcement was reserved for Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell Facebook page.
The awesome thing is that the release date for Splinter Cell: Conviction is February 13th, which happens to be the eighth anniversary of the first time Dave and I met. What better way to celebrate than to test my husband’s patience whilst I exhibit my complete lack of stealth and aiming skills? I guess I should probably buy him dinner first…
