I, myself am looking forward to this release. But before this full new game, could we have a few DLC for Convictions?
I hope the developers stick to the interactive environment with this installment aswell as keeping it an exclusive as PS3 have Medal Gear Solid, so we as X-Box should have Spinter Cell.
