Sam is back after four long agonising years. Conviction was originally slated for a ‘Fall 2007’ release but was mysteriously cancelled and got redesigned for some mysterious reason. Now it’s finally here, is the long wait worth it?

Sarah Fisher is dead with Sam keeping off the grid in search of his daughter’s killer and finally has some reliable Intel on where she maybe. This is your entire background synopsis of SC: C as you are now a rogue agent from the Third Echelon and the rules no longer apply, making for a different style of gameplay.

With this new gameplay style and Sam’s ever advancing age, you do lose some things. Gone is the split jump, gone is the ability to jump at will, gone is a sense of colour, gone is the night vision goggles, gone are the thermal goggles and in fact for a vast majority of the game the goggles don’t exist.
