1998′s much-lauded PC stealth game Thief has arrived at Good Old Games, where it can be downloaded for $US9.99. Thief is widely to be one of the most innovative, standard-setting sneaking games ever made.
The Dark Mod is a modification that turns PC shooter Doom 3 into something a little more akin to what fans of the Thief series are used to. More men in armour, less monsters in closets.

I’m quietly confident that all the fuss over BioShock has passed… well, until Ken Levine announces in one of his many interviews an expansion or sequel, which he surely will.

Over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun there’s a fancy write-up (with included developer interviews) on Thief: Deadly Shadows, the third title in the Thief series. Although it was developed by the now-defunct Ion Storm, the first two titles were cooked up by Looking Glass, who’s shattered remains became Irrational, and now 2K Australia/2K Boston (can we get this name shortened already? Sheesh. My vote is on 2K Aus/Bos).
