“Ghost Recon” by Ubisoft is not like most first-person shooters. Instead of scuttling down narrow corridors and unloading hails of bullets, the goal of the game is to advance slowly across large enemy battlefields via reconnaissance techniques, thus the title “Ghost Recon.” This slow-paced and highly realistic shooter is meant for older players, not just for the blood and gore but also for its unforgiving difficulty and the critical thinking involved. In the year 2008, a group of Russian Ultranationalists seeks to restore the old Soviet Union. As the radicals attempt to retake Georgia, Latvia, and other former territories, war breaks out and the Ghosts are sent in.

In a day in which shooting games are the norm, I find it quite refreshing to be able to play a slow paced game in which suspense surrounds both the story and the action. “Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow” is just that. Featuring spies, diverse locales, and tons of gadgets, “Pandora Tomorrow” is bound to please anyone who is remotely interested in modern military espionage or stealth games.
