| Thief: The Dark Project | Eidos (Looking Glass Studios) | 1998 | [b]Working title: The Dark Project Original project title: Dark Camelot[/b]***[b]sentient artefact[/b] - The Eye [b]gameplayinn[/b] - first person stealth; possibly started the whole stealth game rage.***To call Thief a first-person shooter is to strip away what the game brought to the gaming scene. Set in a magical medieval city, the player is a thief, with the ability to become almost invisible in shadows. And here is where 'first-person sneaker' became it's own genre. Emphasizing strategy and stealth over raw killing ability, the game brought a new idea to first-person shooters. Sure, the sword and bow are necessary, but the blackjack, and avoiding combat, are even more effective. Well designed cut scenes, incredible graphics, unmatchable atmosphere, etc etc all meant that Thief was a superb game. | labelimagesubject |

Survive in a world where shadows are your only ally, trust is not an option, and confrontation results in death! Key Features: * Pioneering stealth based gameplay brings a new dimension to first person action. * Thief™ Gold includes Thief™ The Dark Project (12 huge missions with multiple environments) and the Gold update (3 new campaign missions which deepen the plot and add five new types of enemies) * Advanced enemies can see, hear, speak, and sound alarms. * Your arsenal includes: blackjack, sword, fire arrows, water arrows, rope arrows and more | labelimagesubject |
| Thief II: The Metal Age | Eidos (Looking Glass Studios) | 2000 | This was the most disappointing part of the Thief trilogy for me. The emphasis on steampunk-ish environment and all those steamgolems took the feel of it away. Still, it has the same playability as the other Thief games except for the theme change so gameplay wise it has the same level of excellence with some minor improvement.***A sequel to Thief: The Dark Project. Without introducing any drastic advances in terms of gameplay, there were many small improvements, both graphically and in terms of level design, etc. Another fantastic offering. | labelimageminimize |
| Thief: Deadly Shadows | Eidos (Ion Storm) | 2004 | You are Garrett, the master thief. Rarely seen and never caught, Garrett is the best that ever was. Able to sneak past any guard, pick any lock, and break into the most ingeniously secured residences. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City. Here crime and corruption are commonplace, wealthy nobles prey on the poor and each other, and magic and machinery coexist uneasily. World weary and cynical, Garrett wants nothing more than to be left alone to ply his trade. But things never work out that way. * Cutting-edge Action Stealth Gameplay - Hide in the shadows, sneak past the guards, or ambush them from the darkness! * Huge Arsenal of Thieves' Tools - Including lock picks, a blackjack, arrows, wall climbing gloves, oil flasks, flash bombs, and a dagger. * An Entire City to Explore - Break into any building, mug nobles on the streets, spend your loot, and earn a reputation. Feel like a real thief in a cityscape of unparalleled responsiveness and interactivity. * Advanced Artificial Intelligence - AI guards that see and hear, track evidence and suspiciousness, search for intruders, fight, give chase, and perform lip synching, facial expressions, and hundreds of lines of real-time dialog. * Dynamic Lighting and Shadow System - Every character and object casts realistic, dynamic shadows that effect stealth gameplay.***[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] * Windows 2000 or XP * 1.5 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM * 3 GB free HD space***This latest Thief game dumps the Dark Engine and instead uses the Unreal Warfare engine with dynamic, Splinter Cell-style shadows.

| Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age | Dark Engineering Guild | 2005 | On May 25th, 2000, Looking Glass Studios closed its doors. The makers of intelligent first-person, story-driven games would no longer give us such immersive and harrowing experiences as we found in System Shock and Thief. Shortly thereafter, a group of designers, artists, writers, and audio talents joined to form TTLG's Dark Engineering Guild. If LGS wasn't going to make another Thief game, someone else would have to... ION Storm (Austin), under the watchful eye of Warren Spector, has since begun production on Thief 3 (Thief: Deadly Shadows) and released it on May 26th, 2004. Now with its own story to tell, the Dark Engineering Guild has remained hard at work on T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age... Based on the critically-acclaimed Thief series, T2X is an unofficial expansion building on the technology that made Thief 2 a classic with critics and fans alike. More than 60 artists, designers, writers and programmers from the gaming community have contributed their talents to realize a fresh new Thief experience. - Thirteen full-length missions take the action through city streets and rooftops, ancient tombs, hotels, museums, cathedrals and more in a gripping tale of vengeance and deception - Ten new weapons and tools provide the means to evade, outwit, and out-fight your opponents, as well as bringing unprecedented levels of emergent gameplay to the Thief series - Hundreds of new models, textures and sounds: 3000 lines of new dialogue - Four beautifully-rendered cutscenes and twelve new briefings in the original Thief style - A new main character with a fluid, immersive narrative that grips the player until the last scene Additional Notes Although T2X is loader-independent, it is still necessary to have a fully-installed, patched version of Thief 2 in order to run it.

| S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat | GSC World Publishing;Deep Silver (GSC Game World) | 2009 | There's been few notable changes from previous Stalker games, notably that secret stashes can be looted without gaining knowledge of their location beforehand which was a requirement in both SoC and CS.

| Metro: Last Light | Deep Silver (4A Games) | 2013 | Aunque sus controles y acción son similares a los de cualquier FPS moderno, la atmósfera opresiva y el enfoque postapocalíptico lo hacen diferenciarse, ya que aunque no llega al grado de un survival horror o juegos como el STALKER o los primeros Fallout, si que tiene elementos como la máscara de gas o la escasa munición que lo hacen ser un juego más enfocado en la supervivencia de lo habitual en los FPS. Su interfaz minimalista es muy inmersivo, menos el panel de munición (que peca además de no ser muy adecuado para ordenador) La historia sigue directamente los pasos del primer juego, y da mayor enfoque a los enfrentamientos humanos sin olvidar el terror sobrenatural que caracterizara a Metro 2033. 7 de 10***[media=youtube]EdlA__Sv1VU[/media]***It is the year 2034. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within.

But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour... Key Features: * A gripping, story-driven first person shooter, Metro: Last Light is the hugely anticipated sequel to 2010’s critically acclaimed cult classic Metro 2033 * Experience thrilling combat with an exotic arsenal of hand-made weaponry against deadly foes – both human and mutant – and use stealth to launch attacks under the cover of darkness * Explore the post-apocalyptic world of the Moscow Metro, one of the most immersive, atmospheric game worlds ever created * Fight for every bullet and every last breath in a claustrophobic blend of survival horror and FPS gameplay * Next generation technology boasting stunning lighting and physics sets a new graphical benchmark on both console and PC * Wage post-apocalyptic warfare online, as Last Light delivers an intense multiplayer experience amongst the dark Russian ruins | labelimagesubject |
