Diehard GameFAN: The Art of Thief Review

DHGF: Ive always been a big fan of the Thief series and so when Eidos and Square-Enix announced they would be releasing the first new game for the series in a decade, I had mixed emotions. I was happy such a nice cult series was being revived but was disappointed neither Looking Glass Studios nor Ion Storm would be making the game. Of course, what choice was there? LGS went out of business in 2000 and Eidos purchased Ian Storm back in 2005, so this was as good as it was going to get. My only hope is that Eidos listened closely to the remaining team members from those original three games. I have the new Thief on my PC and am enjoying it for what it is, even though I generally dont care for quasi reboots like what they have done to Castlevania and Devil May Cry. Still, the visuals of this new Thief are tremendous and as such, it is so surprise that Titan Books has released another of their art books covering sketches, concept art and behind the scenes commentary on the game.
