One of the biggest games of 2012, Assassin’s Creed III will allow gamers the chance to discover more of the millennia-old conspiracies that have shaped world history, and promises to be a feast of cerebral action.

Stealth action:

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction® forces iconic hero Sam Fisher to take on the agency that made him as he becomes involved in a plot of devastating repercussions. Sam travels to diverse locations, using a unique mix of stealth and combat that gives players freedom to choose their own play style.

Shooter action:

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2® takes players back to Sin City for intense engagements against hostile forces, presenting a smooth blend of third and first person shooter perspectives, plus a sizable multiplayer component.

Survival action:

Strategy action:

R.U.S.E showcases a novel approach to real-time strategy, emphasizing intelligencegathering and risk-taking as players need to formulate battle strategies with limited knowledge of enemy forces.
