Sam Fisher is back, and this time, hes brought some friends. Well, thats not exactly true--Fisher, an ultrasecret agent in league with the US government, always works alone. But the point is, the sequel to Ubisofts blockbuster hit, Tom Clancys Splinter Cell, not only offers more of the same spectacular single-player stealth action, starring Sam, that was featured in the original game, but also boasts a genuinely innovative, new multiplayer mode for up to four players, in which small groups of spies must match wits with heavily armed mercenaries.

In Just Another Pandora's Box, everything old is new again - even if you don't quite know where you've seen it before.

And not for nothing that the simplicity of the mission immediately alerted experienced operatives ...

Pandora's Box is about the use of science in the 20th Century. It is a work that was done before Curtis' more well-known pieces such as The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares. The collected pieces in the torrent come from various sources. Some lack being complete (where one is cut off before the last couple seconds are completed.)
