The Master Thief is back--you never saw that coming!

No, really. You literally did not see that coming.

Thief: Deadly Shadows, the ultimate tension-fueled stealth experience, is available on GOG.com for $9.99 with the soundtrack, design sketches, avatars, wallpapers, and the manual all included!

GOG.com is incredibly happy to complete the most acclaimed and loved PC stealth series ever developed--the Thief series. [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/thief_gold]Thief Gold and Thief II: The Metal Age have been both voted 5-star-perfect games by our community (thanks for the votes!) and Thief: Deadly Shadows is a strong contender for yet another entry on your “best of the best” lists. The third installment, a worthy and mighty successor, does not change what’s exceptional about Garrett’s adventure--stealth-based gameplay that uses silence and shadows as your main weapons--but it does add a few twists, like seeing Garrett’s limbs from first-person perspective, non-linear exploration of the City and secondary missions, Wall Climbing Gloves, a variety of gameplay (Break & Enter, Steal, Combat, Ambush and Assassinate), and, what’s best, an improved AI that will now seek and hear you more easily, track evidence, and even chase and fight you to the end.

Thief: Deadly Shadows has been especially praised for its exceptionally refined standard of lighting, graphics, level design, and--of course--immersive gameplay. Sound effects, music, and voice acting are top-notch, and the game looks and feels better than ever with a dynamic lighting and shadow system, and the possibility to switch between first person and third person mode. The story, the dark and tense atmosphere, the visual appearance, the thrill--everything you wished for in a 3D sneaker is here. There’s only one thing no one should see--it’s Garrett, hidden in deadly shadows.

Thief: Deadly Shadows is a gaming ambush that will steal your free time and assassinate your desire for playing other games. You don’t have to break & enter to grab this gem from GOG.com for only $9.99.

WBGhiro: some may say it's a dumbed down.
makes no sense. all the key gameplay elements of the previous games are still there, and a whole lot more was added.
Good release, but I'll wait for promo

Yeah, but the levels are much smaller, a lot less open and there's almost no need to ever use anything else but your blackjack, because the environments are a little too Garrett-friendly. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great game, but the consolitis is very strong with this one.
Wishlist : + 1 .
Great game, bring back memories.
Thanks GOG. :) Unsurprising, but still much needed, addition, making the Thief collection complete on GOG. I'm sure to get it at some point from GOG, but I've yet to finish the first two games (CD versions), and I don't own the third game yet.

To naysayers: frankly I don't care if the retail CD version can be found on some bargain bins or flea markets for $0.50.

Next in the line I guess: Deus Ex: Invisible War. That I already own though, got it free with my ATI Radeon graphics card.
Awesome release. It probably is the worst in the series, but still one of the best games in general.

maybe so, but IMO it beats the previous two games in terms of atmosphere, and atmosphere is one of the key elements of the series.

I haven't played any Thief game yet, but I agree atmosphere can be extremely important.
I fondly remember Jade Empire just for this reason alone. Great music and atmosphere... not much else though... Awful gameplay and probably the most cliché story from bioware yet.

Add Jade Empire to the list of games I'd love to see on GOG, even though it's really a console game ported to the PC.

Anyway, this was totally expected, but with the higher price points we've been seeing, and this game costing $20 on Steam and Gamersgate, the $10 price tag was pleasantly unexpected.
Another game for my wishlist, thanks GOG.
Woot !

I think that in terms of atmosphere Deadly Shadows is worst out of the three. I loved the Cradle though.

I thought the open city was a wonderful idea. Admittedly, it felt a little too cramped, but that's one feature I'd love to see in the earlier games. There's a reason the rooftop mission of The Metal Age is considered the best part of the game.
My first Thief game, although probably the weakest of the 3 as others have said. In my opinion it did a lot of peripheral stuff right (atmosphere, seeing your own body, exploring the city, etc) but lost a little in core gameplay, which just didn't feel quite as solid. Anyway, great game and nice to see it on here.
