Splinter Cell: Conviction

So it's a new year (well it has been for the last few months, but who's counting?) and i think it's about time to get into even better shape. What's this i see in the inbox?

First up we had an afternoon learning the basics of Krav Maga, the close combat system i mostly remember from the Bourne series of films.
