Thief (for PS3)  (for PS3)

From the apparent nothingness of the shadows will come a master thief who just wants to do one thing - steal. A single-player/multiplayer action stealth game for the Xbox 360 console, Thief is a revamp of the classic game series with the same name and is set in a fantasy world that darkly mirrors the Victorian era. The game progresses in “The City” which is ruled by a despot named “The Baron”. In The City, the rich and more fortunate keep amassing more and more wealth while the poor live a wretched life and hence they rebel often. In the midst of this chaos, Garrett, a devious outlaw who has returned after a long time, sees an opportunity to exploit the well off. Developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix, Thief runs on Unreal Engine 3. The gameplay involves you controlling the shifty criminal Garrett himself and making your way through the city while being encountered by many challenges on each level. Violence being a last resort, you have to be as stealthy as a cat and use the surroundings to your advantage to avoid getting caught by the authorities when stealing something of great worth. You have to pickpocket, pick locks, run and jump across from building to building and do much more in order to accomplish your objectives. Rated 18 by PEGI, this game also features a stealth mode through the use of which the protagonist’s vision is enhanced, thereby helping him to isolate candles that can be put out so the environment becomes darker or highlighting pipes that can be climbed. Time slows down when stealth mode is active as well. Garrett wields a collapsible, compound bow to unleash his array of attacks and a claw to perform grapple moves.
