Thief The Dark Project Computer Game

Pros: Great environment, revolutionary gameplay, intriguing world, SCARY

Cons: Too dark sometimes, bad models and rendering

The Bottom Line: I'll go ahead and say it. It's the best SP experience in PC gaming as of June 30th, 2002.

Review: When the concept of Thief was made, many were confused. In a time where SiN, Half-Life, Quake 2, and many other high-powered action shooters were kings, why would anybody bother to play a game where you AVOIDED confrontations? Where your character WASN'T...

Pros: Strategic FPS. Backstabbing with a sword.

Cons: Ugly character models.

Review: Nope, you won't find Unreal or Quake graphics in this game. You will, however, find some good sound effects, but they still may not be as good as other First Person Shooters' that are out there. But I tell you what, I am willing to bet that when you are...

Pros: Ferociously original concept with innovative gameplay to back it up.

Cons: Outdated engine (as if it really matters in this game)

The Bottom Line: A thinking man's game. A serious gamer would be a fool to pass this one up.

Review: Warren Spector and his crew at the (now closed) Looking Glass Studios are best known for their work on the System Shock series, and more recently, at Ion Storm, on Deus Ex. When we look into "Thief", however, we see a very bold and ferociously original...

Pros: Thick plot and no cheese

Cons: Zombies

Review: So, you've probably seen the back of the game box at your neighborhood computer-game swap shop, and in looking at the back of that box I can almost bet you thought something like "Whelp, this is just another first person shooter, and I could...

Pros: Engrossing, well executed and entertaining

Cons: Mediocre models, AI sometimes limited

Review: Being a bit of a geek, I have occasioned on and played the odd “enhanced demo” (*cough*cough*CRACK*cough*cough*RIP*cough*). I’ve seldom felt compelled to lay down good money for the full retail boxed version--until "Thief." I played about...

Pros: sneaky game play, artistic achievement, lots of fun

Cons: not as graphically spectacular for its time

Review: Thief has created a new genre of computer gaming; the first-person sneaker. This thrilling action-thinker emphasizes stealth to accomplish various missions of infiltration, item retrieval, escape, and revenge.

This game has occupied a...

Pros: Beautiful Graphics, Awesome Sound

Cons: None

Review: I had gotten frustrated with the first-person shooter games, having played the majority (Doom, Doom II, etc., Duke Nukem 3-D, Blood, Redneck Rampage,Hexen, MDK, and about a million others...) but Thief put a completely new perspective on the genre! What...

Pros: excellent sound, story and idea

Cons: the graphics (ouch)

The Bottom Line: I think a lot of people with a lot of different tastes will like this one.

Review: Can stepping on a piece of steel get you killed? In this game it can.

In first person, you play a master thief, where you go from place to place, stealing anything you get your hands on as well as satisfy your benefactor. The challenge lies...

Pros: Great story and atmosphere, new take on FPS games

Cons: Death comes often

Review: I'm pretty sick of all those first-person shooter games that ascribe to the theory that he who holds down their mouse button longest, wins. Some clever feller out there decided to take the rules that genre has defined and subvert them to make this...

Pros: Unparalleled gameplay experience and realism of environment.

Cons: The objects are sometimes a bit too polygonal.

Review: Decent storyline: self-made thief, joins a secret guild of neutrally aligned thieves in a highly structured organization, turns into a renegade and leaves the guild (wish we had more time in the early years). The span of game-time in which the story...
