Didn't Eternal Darkness have an invisibility spell? And I seem to remember some sneaking about in Chrono Trigger (the prison) and certainly there are stealth elements in Mirror's Edge. Heck, Mario 64 even had stealth to some degree: he could sneak up on sleeping piranha plants or turn invisible to evade enemies with the vanish cap. So..... there!

Why does it say Splinter Cell 2002-2006? There's a new game coming out this year >_>

Also I wish they would make a new Sly Raccoon game, loved that series.

Awesome job here... +1000 for the Thief series. I was just amazed by TDP when it first came out... sneaking through hidden corridors in castles rather than going in guns blazing... brilliant! Metal Age cranked up the fear of being found by adding those dam robots "The Will of Karas!" lol... Just started Deadly Shadows again last week after a couple year hiatus. Love this series!

I'll never forget the first time I shot a rope-arrow and realized I could make my own ladders ANYWHERE I wanted... that was something totally new and really allowed you to attack a mission in a huge variety of ways.

I never knew so many games that I loved had so many stealth elements to them. Agent 47 ftw. After a while in Blood Money I used to just walk around and head-butt people. Blowing up the guy's wife with the bbq...planting an explosive device in the cake on that ship...awesome. Snake rocks it too.

In the Star Wars: KOTOR games, you can activate a stealth generator or Jedi stealth powers to turn invisible and sneak around. Stealth is broken by attacking an enemy or a successful detection roll.

But how's this for an obscure stealth reference? In Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, there are a couple of missions where you have to manoeuvre your little fleet of space vessels around the dark sides of various planets and stuff, avoiding sensor stations and enemy patrols, to make it out of the enemy-occupied sector!

Going through the list again...
In addition to Thief, kudos for NOLF, Riddick, SotC, RE4, Bioshock, and Commandos (should read 1998 - 2003...no love for Commandos 2 or 3?)

Goldeneye64; Has anyone else, ever, played the co-op mode that was built into the game?

I really enjoyed Sniper Elite. As mentioned pulling off a brilliant shot was ultra satisfying and if you could time your shot to an artillery blast then the other enemies wouldn't hear it, hard to do but it felt like a real achievement.

It also had a coop mode which worked really well. Getting both players into good positions and picking off guards at the smae time was quality.

Definitely a game that could do with a sequel. Next-gen sniping, with explosive headshots would be awesome.

One of my fav's not on the list was Mark of Kri. You could lock on to some guy below you, drop down and stab him through the back and it's disney cartoon look made the kills particularly satisfying

Also It doesn't get much better that BG&E for stealth. played like a poor man's metal gear without the 30 minute cutscenes

hey! what about being a rogue in WoW? a rogue is based on stealth and a druid also has a little stealthy element in it and also gears of war,you have to sneak around so that the beserker doesn't completely rape you.

WTF! no mirrors edge! the entire game is about running away from dudes with guns! It's pratically your ninja game, yet not even aword about it! seriously though, sneak king is creepy
