:D

Are you Henri the Hammer by any chance?

Is this game any good? I've been playing Splinter Cell and I'm looking for some similar style games. So, is Thief Deadly Shadows any good and are there any ohter games similar to Splinter Cell? I'm sort of a stealth fan :)

Deadly Shadows pales in comparison to the original two games in my opinion, but it's still decent in its own right. I'd recommend playing it first and then move onto The Dark Project.

Hi Lyrianna.

If you liked Black & White then you might be interested in Darwinia and Dungeon Keeper 2.

I'm not particularly a fan of role-playing games but you can't go wrong with Knights of the Old Republic.

You're not really that new to gaming though since you know what you like and what you want. I can't help you with online games though.

Gravity Bone (It's free too).

Also i didnt know about that void game but it does look interesting ( i'm also a bit worried though about the time limit )adamosmaki

According to the devs, someone at Atari who worked on the Settlers games (if I remember correctly) is working to balance the game and make it more fun. Along with tweaking the difficulty, more content is being added, and all of that will eventually make it into the Russian director's cut.

Their previous game, Pathologic, had a time limit too, with every day lasting 2 real hours. It played out over 12 days, so that's about 24 real hours per character (there were three). If that's anything to go by then I'm not too worried about feeling rushed by The Void.

1. System Shock
2. Thief: The Dark Project
3. System Shock 2
4. Ultima Underworld
5. Thief 2: The Metal Age
6. Half Life
7. Pathologic
8. Portal
9. Arx Fatalis
10. No One Lives Forever

And, I'm spent. Can you tell I like Looking Glass Studios?;)

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on it.

When it comes to stealth, nothing is likely to top Thief, but still, this might hit the spot for a while. Kind of a shame it's in third-person though.

I'm still playing through the first one at the moment. How does the second stand up to it?

I'll second Zeno Clash. It looks like it has tonnes of character. Definately on my list. Something like 15 days to go, right?

Also, if you're interested in something a bit strange then there's a Russian game called The Void being released in English soon by Atari. I can't wait for it - I'm pretty bored of overt violence right now. :) Instead of having a gun, you run around a strange world collecting different colours of something called Lympha which you 'cast' in the same kind of way that the magic system worked in Arx Fatalis.
