So I've been playing Splinter Cell: Conviction on the 360 and am trying to get the Hunter Master achievement in which you have to "Complete all maps in "Hunter" game mode on Realistic difficulty" Hunter Mode means clear the map of enemies.

In the near future you can look forward to:

Seeing half-a-dozen new reviews uploaded from Martin "CyberGrim" Baker. They will be posted as I edit them.

Some slick new PC Builds from Brant "The_BOB" Armstrong.
