Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
Over the last two console generations, I’ve developed a slavish devotion to the games inspired by Tom Clancy’s prose. From my initial tango-clearing missions with Domingo ‘Ding’ Chavez, liberating North Koreans under Scott Mitchell’s watch and lurking in the shadows with Sam Fisher, each title has offered an ample supply to opponents positioned to test the effectiveness of bleeding-edge weaponry. In other words- the perfect gaming recipe.
Currently, anticipation for Ubisoft’s next release- Splinter Cell:Conviction, is heating up faster that a detonated incendiary grenade thanks to two new features: Mark and Execute, and Last Known Position. The former allows players to identify specific targets from an unseen vantage point, and then breach in, eliminating hostiles in asingle, satisfying ambush. The later addition offers a visual indicator as to where opponents think the player is once a line of sight is broken; giving players an invaluable insight. Both are likely to contribute to Conviction’s emphasis on quick, clandestine, tactical strikes.
Tech-Gaming’s Ana M. was on hand for the Splinter Cell: Conviction party to grab a bit of critical intel and some hands-on impressions. In the meantime, have a look at our declassified photos, and let us know if you can offer a positive ID on any dignitaries.

Who is Domingo ‘Ding’ Chavez?
Unless there three girls on his lap, none of them his wife, the answer is no.

They did a handful of SSC events in different cities – the LA one seemed to have the most celebs present as expected — we never made it inside cuz we were busy with the red carpet – here’s the results!

Glad to see the hollywood blonde stereotypes are true.
Troy – me and Robert Allen often run into each other at events and ‘compare notes’ – we had Tidegear on the show reppin Tech-Gaming last year – does that count?
