Too many loading screens. Poor AI. Lighting throughout the world is too extreme
Those who thought AMD's Mantle API would make a superfast PC with high-end CPU and top of the line GPU even faster are in for a disappointment. In such situations, as well as in every other case of a GPU-bottleneck, Mantle is hardly faster, and sometime...
Abstract: A few months ago AMD and Dice released a patch (and driver) which enabled the first real world example of Mantle. For those who haven't heard Mantle is a platform which replaces DirectX when using AMD cards, allowing game developers better access to the G...
Thief is a muddled but well-intentioned game that undermines smart, sinister stealth with weird controls and lousy characters. An atmospheric setting and plenty of freedom helps matters enormously, but all told it's a strange compromise of a game.Tags:Gam...
Excellent and comprehensive settings that can completely alter the way the game is played. Some truly impressive levels. Excellent lock picking mechanics. Generally faithful to Thief lore, with some welcome visits from old friends.

Abstract: CommentA good sneaking game with great stealth mechanics is hard to come by these days. As a master thief, it’s your job to score some great loot without anyone knowing you are there, until it’s too late. So is everything worth taking or are all the ge...

A poorly-designed outing that might, in another continuity where the previous Thief games never existed, have earned itself the heady accolade of 'barely average'. Unfortunately, we all know that it could be € and has been done € so much better....
Abstract: Remember what playgrounds used to be like? The best of them featured huge wooden and metal structures filled with dodgy activities such as ring-swinging or ziplining. They encouraged risk-taking and escapades. We'd get hurt on them sometimes—I have a larg...
