[QUOTE="MJEggertson, post: 694837, member: 845"] I don't think the control issue is that bad for games like this. It's not a fast paced 'twitch' games where it's constant shooting, so the slight loss of control since you're not using a mouse never bothered me. And hey, for other games, as long as they're well done, the controller thing isn't an issue either, especially nowadays where analog sticks are used. Anyways, I loved Splinter Cell. Great gameplay, and amazing lighting. I can't recall if it had HDTV support, it's been months since I rented it, but in general, games that do have it look amazing. That whole higher-res argument goes out the window when it's plastered on a big screen. Sure you can double the resolution on a computer monitor, but...it looks absolutely fine on an hdtv. I doubt I'll ever wait for a PC version of a game if it's available on a console. Well, maybe a few types of games, but not many. I had alot of fun playing it. My only complaint is I never got the feeling of any progression in the game. The story progressed, but the mechanics of the missions always seemed the same. There really wan't anything different from the first to last mission I played. If you have an xbox, you at least should rent this game. [/QUOTE]
