An analysis of Sam Fisher and the first three Splinter Cell games.

Details on your OPSAT (And in the notes below!):
-With regards to Japanese Concentration Camps during World War II, I went back-and-forth deciding whether the term ‘concentration’ or ‘internment’ were better. The camps Japanese Americans were forced into fit the definition of concentration camps (below), and there’s actually an interesting debate regarding the subject. I’ve provided some links below if you’re interested. From reading the sources below as well as others, I think the use of concentration camp is appropriate.

-I called Korematsu v US one of the worst Supreme Court decisions but didn’t cite sources (I’m not an expert on the history of the US Supreme Court). However, considering the decision allowed American citizens to be forcibly moved out of their homes and into camps, I think it’s a reasonable evaluation to make.
-Hocking did some writing on the original Splinter Cell, too. I wrote ‘level designer’ just to keep things simple (as far as I can tell, that was his ‘main’ job).
-There may be a different way of looking at Coldeboeuf. His profile says he was arrested for voyeurism and that the charges were dropped. The details are scarce and it’s not pushed hard in dialogue. With all that said, I don’t think the game is trying to put you in the same position it does with the guards that torture Morgenholt (especially since Sam doesn’t mention Coldeboeuf’s legal troubles).
-I also said, when talking about Coldeboeuf and Dahlia, ‘Saving both characters…’. I didn’t catch this until I was editing, but you don’t ‘save’ Dahlia, you just spare her.
-I said Splinter Cell consists of two trilogies. This leaves Splinter Cell: Essentials out, which I will talk about in part two.
-I’m not currently working on part two, but it will be made one day. I promise.
