Insert the obligatory "It's a steal!" joke here.
A criminal classic has made its way onto Good Old Games today, with Thief Gold now available for $9.99. It's the definitive version of Thief: The Dark Project, credited as a game that made modern stealth action what it is today.
Thief is one of those games I had heard so much about, but never got around to trying. I am absolutely adding this to my GOG shopping list! How about you?

Thief II though? Greatest game ever made for me, and one of the best dark fantasy stories too. The moment when you're just raiding a noblemen's house, a regular normal mission, and you discover a closed-off creepy-as-f**k haunted library where a woman's voice pleads to you from books and her dead boyfriend walks the halls... epic.
Suffice to say, I will also buy that when it comes to GOG.
My dick is solid as a rock.
An absolute classic. The stealth sub-genre has devolved since it's release, in many aspects.
Shinobido, Tenchu, Splinter Cell, and Thief Deadly Shadows.
Deadly Shadows seems to be the best of the series, plus i prefer playing stealth games on 3rd person rather than first person(though a combination of the two ala MGS and Deus Ex is fine either way)
HELL YEAH!!!! DANG RIGHT!!!!! WOOOH!!!
Master Chief, Cpt. Price and Duke Nukem can go fuck themselves! :D
I think Splinter Cell Conviction had the right idea on modern day stealth mechanics. At least for my tastes. Didn't try the bugger, as everyone said it was the "new shit" stealth for the first half and the old and busted stealth for the rest of it.
