I still think Splinter Cell (Chaos Theory) did stealth better. But then again, in one you're a secret agent trying to save the world. The other....well, you're a thief.

For kicks, since it's sort of topical again, here's my Escapist article looking at the writing of THIEF and SPLINTER CELL: CHAOS THEORY from back when:

THIEF was a profound game.

I loved the expectation/disappointment you pulled on us with "Yahtzee! You... completely ordinary person." Brilliance.

You just made me realize that pc-gaming hardly matter anymore and in spirit of that I feel a personal need to remind you of a not-so little gem called RESISTANCE 2!!

Review it already!

It's becoming a bit embarassing because like thief (and the sequel), it's an awesome fucking game! :D

Oh man, I didn't see this coming! I love thief, it's one of my favorite games to this date.
That. Haven't played the earlier ones but managed to find Deadly Shadows and loved it. Hope the rumors about another come true.

I'm not trying to start anything, but i think its funny how in his Halo 3 review he said he never played the first two, but he constantly pokes fun at the first one.

I picked up both Theif 1 + 2 up on a whim for a mindbogglingly low £1. Not each. For both. Best £1 I ever spent on a game. In fact, I'm gonna have to install them on my new laptop now.

Thief was awesome. Now I want to see more older games reviewed. I say 'older' because I'm not of this current fucked up generation that calls anything made before 2000 'old' and 'shitty.'

I see you like Firefly as well. Not sure that you could make a game out of it though.

I applaud Yahzee for this review. I never expected I'd hear him rant about it and it warms my heart to hear that he actually enjoyed it :D

I think I played Thief when I was a kid, but I didn't have the patience for it. Hell, I don't even think I understood stealthing.

Still, I should look it up. Great review yahtzee.

I have this game, but unfortuntly it always freezes when i come to the first guard. I blame vista.
You should!

It's nice to see that old Ben is still able to reinvent himself, and not just recycling his old rants *cough* Far Cry review *cough*

I love the Thief games franchise so much I could marry it...(I proposed to it, but is still waiting for an answer)

EDIT: Dang spelling is broken again..

I'm going to have to check out thief but one question. When was Hitman a "stealth" game?
I would consider Blood Money a stealth game. You have to hide, steal stuff, kill people, change your outfit etc.

How is it not a stealth game?

Was waiting for this one. Got Thief I recently, so Thief II is better then?

I'll have to check it out.
