“First order — picked up Eternal Darkness for GameCube. Was nervous about pre-owned but the disc looks mint and the box was well packed. Quick reply when I emailed before buying.”
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
£14.49
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a stealth-action game developed by Ubisoft Montreal. It is the first installment of the Splinter Cell franchise.
###Plot
In 2003, the United States government formed a new covert agency to gather intelligence. It is a top-secret organisation named Third Echelon. The agency has access to cutting-edge surveillance and military technologies. Third Echelon's agents are free to violate any law as long as it is required to complete the mission successfully.
In 2004, contact is lost with a CIA agent. Homeland security sends a second agent to check on the CIA's asset, yet contact is lost again. Third Echelon sends Sam Fischer to investigate the situation.
###Gameplay
The game's main focus is to hide from the enemy instead of going loud and gun-blazing. The players have to leave no trace of themselves. It is essential to stick to the shadows, use the environment for cover and carefully pick your equipment to avoid detection.
Shadows are the best friend of the player. A special indicator is present on an in-game HUD that shows if the players are visible to their enemies. The game does not welcome the usage of weapons as the sound of gunfire is very loud and can be heard from the distance. The players have to rely on headshots, as they don't have much ammo on them. Sam has multiple advanced gadgets to aid him in his mission as well as a lot of hand-to-hand combat experience.

Products & condition
Are pre-owned games and consoles tested?
Yes. Every game and console is checked (play/read, overall condition, accessories as listed). Condition is described on the product page — box, inserts, labels — so you know what you’re buying.
How does warranty work on retro hardware?
Your statutory rights under UK law apply to faulty or misdescribed goods. We also explain condition clearly on each listing. More on Warranty.
Are games PAL / UK-compatible?
Where region or language matters (PAL/NTSC, cartridge region), we state it on the product page. If you’re buying a gift and aren’t sure, ask us before you order.
How do you pack fragile items?
We use bubble wrap, void fill and sturdy boxes. Boxed games and consoles are packed to minimise movement and reduce the chance of damage in transit.

Can I return something if I change my mind?
UK consumers often have 14 days to cancel many online purchases. Items should be returned unused where possible and as described in our Refunds & returns policy.
Can I collect locally?
We’re primarily a mail-order service. If local collection is ever available for an item, we’ll say so on the product page or by email.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
Yes — add a note at checkout if you’d like gift-style packaging or a discreet outer box. We’ll do our best for birthdays and surprises.
Payments & pricing
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. Payments are processed securely; we don’t store your full card details on our servers.
