Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:

• Sit farther from the television screen.

• Use a smaller television screen.

• Play in a well-lit room.

• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing

INTRODUCTION

Story

Once, Sam Fisher was an agent of Third Echelon, assigned to infiltrate strongholds belonging to enemies of National Security, gather information and, where necessary, use his training to neutralise those same enemies. But times are changing. America’s enemies are looking at new options, finding ways to make themselves more deadly. In order to stay one step ahead of its targets, Third Echelon is also changing, although Colonel Irving Lambert and Assistant Director Williams may be trying to steer the change in two different directions. And while Sam Fisher's foes are evolving and his allies are in flux, very soon, Fisher's own life is also going to undergo a dramatic and permanent change. And once it happens, nothing will ever be the same again. With his life turned upside-down, Sam Fisher is on a new mission unlike any he has ever been sent on before. Where he used to penetrate defences and gather information from the outside, now he's on the inside, working with those he’s sworn to destroy and finding enemies among his allies. He’s risking everything for the sake of the greater good, even if it costs him his identity – or his life.

Characters

Sam Fisher

Born: 1966 Height: 5’10’’ Weight: 170 lbs

As a Splinter Cell, an agent of Third Echelon, the NSA's most secret subgroup, Sam Fisher has been trained to secure his country's defence by mounting a good offence. In addition to their weapons and hand-tohand training, Splinter Cells use the latest high technology and espionage techniques to infiltrate sensitive locations, retrieve information, and execute operations the U.S. government cannot acknowledge. Fisher has been on the front lines of espionage through several key decades of world history. He has not only survived, but excelled in his field through hard work, insatiable curiosity, and brutal honesty. He has little time for polite niceties and even less for lies. He is quiet, instinctive, and observant, somebody who watches from the outside. But in order to achieve the discipline necessary for his work, Fisher has had to bury certain parts of himself. He is a man of few words, a man with a strange and slightly dark sense of humour, a man with an adult daughter whom he whom he

SCDA Xbox 360_Mtext_UK_9 18/9/06 10:33 Page 3

loves, but hardly knows hardly knows. He is truly himself only when he is on the job - he has, in a sense, become what he does. This is where his world makes sense, where there are allies.

Colonel Irving Lambert

Born: 1961, Batcave, North Carolina Height: 6’2’’ Weight: 270 lbs

Lambert is the Third Echelon director in charge of all field operations, answering only to one man. He became involved in the intelligence community as a young man, rising quickly in rank and responsibility. Serving in the Persian Gulf before and during Desert Storm, he co-ordinated intelligence and ran double agents. He moved on to Third Echelon, where he spearheaded the ambitious Splinter Cell program. Those missions scored several impressive successes, due in large part to the involvement of Lambert's subordinate and friend Sam Fisher. Although still a popular and well-connected man in Washington, D.C., Lambert's recent proposals for changes in National Security structures and procedures have turned him into a political hot potato – and a potential liability.

Other Characters

Emile Dufraisne

Born: 1956, Opelousas, Louisiana Height: 5'9" Weight: 160 lbs

The product of a wealthy, traditional upbringing, Emile Dufraisne was always destined for great things. His belief that America needs to change in a fundamental way moved him to create John Brown’s Army (JBA), a group devoted to bringing about change through the destruction of the current, decadent order. Some would call him a terrorist, but Emile considers himself a patriot.

Enrica Villablanca

Born: 1977, Highland Beach, Florida Height: 5'7" Weight: 125 lbs

Once she was finished getting her Doctorate, Enrica discovered she didn't really know what to do with her life. She did have very strong ideas about societal problems, and when she went looking for solutions to them, she found the JBA. As the only woman in the group, Enrica hides her uncertainty behind walls of professional competence and disdain.

Carson Moss

Born: 1972, Tulsa, Oklahoma Height: 6'2" Weight: 245 lbs

Of all the JBA members, Moss has been with Emile the longest. Emile is also the only person Moss respects, and he uses his position as the JBA's head of security to bully everyone else - except for Enrica. Although Emile once considered Moss to be perfectly reliable, recent security lapses have started to create a rift between them.

Jamie Washington

Born: 1979, Dothan, Alabama Height: 5'11" Weight: 165 lbs

Jamie is a study in contrasts. On the one hand, he's generally cheerful and easy-going around the people he likes. Once he decides he likes someone, he's a friend for life, unswervingly loyal. On the other hand, he's a vicious, cruel man who enjoys inflicting violence on other people, especially those who can't fight back.
