Ubisoft have announced the details of the upcoming tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist, more specifically they’ve detailed all new Collectors Editions that will be available upon the games release. The game is set to launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on the 28th of August and with so many variants being released it can be hard to work out which edition is the best value for money and which one will give you the extra content you want, the question is that come release day, which edition will you be picking up? Hopefully this quick run-down will ensure you make your pre-order in the right place. Personally, I think I’ll just take the standard edition, much easier.

In Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist, a group of 12 rogue nations have had enough of the United States’ military presence in their countries. In an effort to rid themselves of the occupation, they mastermind an ultimatum called The Blacklist – a countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. interests. Given a presidential mandate and the power to act above the law, players take on the role of lethal special operative Sam Fisher. As leader of the newly formed 4th Echelon unit, players must hunt down and stop these terrorists before The Blacklist countdown reaches zero. The thrilling storyline along with a wide range of intense, eye-opening covert missions will propel players to locate and take down those responsible for these deadly assaults by any means necessary.
