Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell series.

No mention of the Thief series?

salsabandana4701d ago

Hell yes!

This list is crap tbh. Thief pioneered the use of shadows as hidespots.

Still a great game to this day.

Agreed. Thief 1 & 2 are still the best hardcore stealth (read: not action-stealth) games ever to grace the market.

Along with survival horror games, stealth games have seen the worst "mainstreaming" of any genre this gen. Today's devs are way too obsessed with "player empowerment", shunning a feeling a vulnerability and instead making stealth games for the Call of Duty crowd...

Aye, the first Thief was a big leap for action games.

Could also put Hitman in the list as well.

Most horror games can also qualify as stealth I suppose. (Amnesia is essentially a stealth game)

Metal Gear Solid games are my religion and Hideo Kojima is my god.

no splinter cell.....fail

perfect dark wasn't really a stealth game and neither is Assassin's Creed since no matter what after you kill a target you have to run away from guards

Metal Gear and Splinter Cell are stealth games.....and rainbow six should be but of course they killed that series with Vegas

Metal gear, tenchu, assassin's creed, and hitman.

Perfect Dark would be cool but I’m hoping for Fable. I’m really interested where they’ve taken the game.

Tacoboto2d ago

Looking ahead now, I'd say Avowed is what I'm looking forward to most in the fall. Obsidian's been nothing but quality and consistency so I can't wait to see what they've been cooking

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.
