hehe Yeah you'd think they can come up with something better. But hey it's probably means something cooler or sounds cooler in Japanese.

SplinterCell.. learn it and love it hehe.

No cloaking, no big ass robots, rocketlaunchers etc. Just good ol sneaking around, hiding in the shadows and saving the world.

Yeah, I like Splinter cell because it's actually believeable on the most part, that shit could actually happen, people who do that could actually exist.

If you haven't heard of it yet, SCG is going to be a stealth game that features a (hella hot) female Ghost named Nova (a Ghost is like a spec-ops sniper recon person if you've never played SC, in which case, you are pathetic). Its coming out in June I belive on XBox. You will be able to do all sorts of kickass stuff and will have to fight Terrans, Protoss, and Zerg.

The Terran Marines, if they spot you, will close their helmets, becoming much harder to kill with a headshot (pretty much the only weak point). Protoss have the Psi Blades of course, (but Nova gets one too ) and the Zerg cannot be stealth-killed due to their quick reflexes etc.

You'll be able to do stuff like jump up onto a pipe hanging from the ceiling, flip and hang from it while firing your rifle upside down. You will be able to do a lot of other kickass stuff, but you're going to have to go read the preview of it at Gamespot.

Gamespot Preview
Note: the preview is like a year and a half old though, due to the fact that Blizzard is very tight-lipped about their games before they release them...

Can't wait for it! I loved Starcraft, an I can't wait to go head to head with a Hydralisk, Zealot, or Firebat in beautiful 3D goodness!

Oooh yeah, Starcraft Ghost looks bloody sweet aswell.

Can't wait to call down nuclear weapons from the heavens to blast some ultralisks! The Marine powered armor looks sweet too!

According to Colonel David Hackworth:

Snake eater -- where does that term come from?

That is an old expression from the beginning of Special Forces. They would have demonstrations at Fort Bragg [U.S. Special Forces headquarters in North Carolina] to demonstrate their animalism and they would bite the head off a chicken or bite a snake in half.

This was in an article about the war in Iraq, not the video game.

Snake Eater is also very appropriate since both the final boss, and the main character in the first game has the codename Snake.

Solid, and Liquid snake respectively. They are twin brothers for those that do not know, and they are both "cloned" from the DNA from Big Boss, which, it seems, is the character you play in Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. And Big Boss had the codename Snake when he was working for the good guys so to say.

And yes. I love Stealth Games. Especially Metal Gear Solid.

The old Metal Gear games where my favourite NES games.
