The much-anticipated, long-in-development Splinter Cell: Conviction releases today in North America on Xbox 360, finally allowing franchise fans to once again step into the stealth-action boots of series-long protagonist Sam Fisher, as he embarks on a journey of vengeance and, indeed, conviction.

As mentioned, Splinter Cell: Conviction is now available in North America on Xbox 360, and will become available in Europe on April 15th (Thursday) and in the UK and South Africa on April 16th (Friday).
