My bro got this game for me as a present and I had never heard of it. At first I wasn't crazy about it because I'm not big on 1st person shooters, I tend to get killed really quickly (that, and the motion sickness).
But, this was the first where you could take your time and had to hide and be quiet to get where you wanted to be. You can pick pockets, hide in the shadows, silence... read more

However, Garrett's plans for his training is different than that of his masters and so Garrett soon parts company. Surfacing as a master thief, Garrett must enter forbidden places and appropriate the treasures of the rich and the powerful. Of course this line of work is offensive to many people including the rich nobles, the town guard and the religious order of the Hammerites. If Garrett can keep his head while he relieves these forces of their valuable trinkets, he should be able to do quite well....
Thief: The Dark Project is a first person game focused on stealth. Garrett's main skills are in using the shadows to avoid being seen, the level of visibility indicated by a "light gem", and to avoid being heard, different surfaces make different noises, Guards can be alerted by either, and remaining hidden is ever important.
At Garrett's disposal is a wide range of equipment; including lockpicks, a blackjack, a sword, flash bombs, holy water, explosive mines, and a bow which fires normal arrows in addition to water, fire, moss and noisemaker arrows.

But, this was the first where you could take your time and had to hide and be quiet to get where you wanted to be. You can pick pockets, hide in the shadows, silence your footsteps on soft surfaces, and if I were you, I wouldn't try jumping out to take on a guard.

A good game, nice atmosphere, good puzzles, and gets pretty challenging as the game goes on, making you think through your strategies.” read more
