Splinter Cell Conviction: Co-Op, Demo, Video

So, not much Splinter Cell: Conviction news, and then a bunch comes along. First up, the Official Xbox Magazine UK has it that there's a Sam Fisher-free, six-hour, co-op mode in the forthcoming title.

Instead of Sam we get Daniel Sloane-Suarez (aka Archer) and Mikhail Loskov (aka Kestrel). According to Play.tm, "The pair are sent to Russia to deal with criminal activity two months in advance of the main campaign's start."

Next up, if you can make your way through this from HHgamer, it's possible to get the notion that the demo for the Xbox 360 and PC title will be with us in January.

Oh, and there's a trailer as well...
