Never cared much for any of his games. That does seem pretty strange to me though - trying to tie the different franchises into one universe at such a late stage.
Weird, Rainbow 6 is supposed to be a seperate universe to splinter cell/GRAW, well, from the novels anyway. Not that Clancy actually has any influence on the games anymore, but ho-hum.
I don't care. I never really liked any of the TC games.
Besides, Tom Clancy's name is just being used as a marketing tool.
It extends to the books, too. A while back I picked up the "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" paperback, only to realize it was written by somebody entirely different.
