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.

Thief II: The Metal Age  Eidos (Looking Glass Studios)2000This 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

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin  Eidos (IO Interactive)2002What does Hitman have to do in order to get a little peace and quiet? Apparently checking into a monastery wasn¿t quite enough, as he¿s been lured out by a very desirable offer. It seems that a Russian crime boss has fooled our hero into a trap, however, and now it¿s up to you to steer Hitman out of danger. Choose whether you want to play from a first or third-person perspective and try to shoot your way through each massive, open-ended level. Amazing graphics and storytelling grace this classic sequel. labelimagesubject

Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age Dark Engineering Guild2005On 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.

Hitman: Blood Money  Eidos (Io Interactive)2006From the Manufacturer:
Hitman: Blood Money places gamers once again in the role of the world's greatest assassin, Agent 47. When assassins from Agent 47's contract killing firm, The ICA, are systematically eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a larger more powerful agency has entered the fray. Sensing that he may be the next target, Agent 47 travels to America, where he prepares to make a killing.

Features:

* Money talks, silence pays: This time you not only get paid for your jobs, but you get to make a decision on what you do with your hard-earned cash. Do you spend money on getting the latest weapon upgrade or do you bribe the police to clean up the last job so none knows you did it?

* Prepare to make a killing: New to the world of getting paid for killing? Then don't worry, just like Leon in the Professional, we will not only give you a hand in how to play, but have introduced a new game play mode to make sure the Rookies amongst us can get in and play the game as we want.
* Accidents happen: What better way to make sure that latest kill doesn't come back to haunt you than to make your hits look like an accident? The all new accident system allows you even more freedom in your choice of how take a target out--drop a priceless chandelier, use a remote bomb, create a nasty slip into a turning paddle wheel--all designed to terminate your targets without creating alarm or suspicion.
* All-new glacier game engine: Since his last outing, 47 has found himself in an all new gaming engine. Now with a number of new moves and a revamped NPC and AI system, the world of being an assassin has never been more realistic.
* Sick of getting caught? 47 now has the ability to hide bodies in boxes and enclosed spaces.***Product Description from [[link:http://www.amazon.com Amazon.com]]:

Hitman: Absolution  Square Enix (IO Interactive)2012A great stealth game, who promotes heavily to be clean and swift over running and gunning everyone (even when its perfectly possible)
Also, it allows the player to be creative in both the art of killing and the art of infiltration, with an arsenal of weapons and an extensive use of furniture and disguises.
Last but not least, mission challenges plus contracts mode increase its replayability to almost infinite, displaying many unlockables to find and a lot of ways to finish each level.

8 of 10***Hitman: Absolution follows the Original Assassin undertaking his most personal contract to date. Betrayed by the Agency and hunted by the police, Agent 47 finds himself pursuing redemption in a corrupt and twisted world.

Key Features
*Showcasing Glacier 2™ technology: HITMAN: ABSOLUTION has been built from the ground up, boasting a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and highly original game and sound design.
*Contracts Mode: Create your own custom hits by choosing the level, targets, weapons and the rules of assassination in an innovative new online mode. Created contracts can be shared with friends or the whole Hitman community and the money that you earn will unlock weapons, upgrades and disguises.
*Freedom of Choice: Stalk your prey, fight them head on or adapt as you go along. As Agent 47 the choice is yours thanks to highly evolved gameplay mechanics and a ground-breaking AI system.
*Experience a Living, Breathing World: In the world of Hitman: Absolution every moment can become a story as unique characters, rich dialogue and Hollywood standard performances combine to create a gameplay experience like no other.
*Disguises: As Agent 47, the identity of almost anyone you meet is yours for the taking. Immobilise your prey, steal their outfit and use your instinct to blend in and deceive your enemies.
*Instinct Mode: See the world through the eyes of Agent 47 and become the world’s deadliest assassin. Using Hitman: Absolution’s Instinct Mode you’ll predict enemy movement, discover new ways to kill and use high powered weaponry with deadly accuracy.

Gunpoint Suspicious Developments2013Una mecánica de juego brillante, que se asemeja en estilo a la saga Metal Gear, ya que baila entre la acción cautelosa y el sigilo más extremo. Su historia es bastante más inmersiva y entretenida de lo que sugiere su sencillo aspecto, y el creador de misiones es fácil de utilizar y eficaz.
La música está lograda, y pega bien con unos gráficos llenos de sombreados píxeles y un humor negro casual.

8 de 10***The game title is not relevant to the game itself, as there's even an achievement with description for this muckup for player justifying it.
