Ken Mckown writes: Creating a new IP is a tricky business. You have to rely on marketing and word of mouth to get your game noticed. It worked for BioShock and Borderlands, mostly because those games were highly polished, and extremely good. Dishonored feels like it belongs in this company of names. Developed by Arkane Studios, the guys behind Arx Fatalis, and published by Bethesda, this unique experience hits all of the right notes from gameplay to design and everything in between. It just feels great all around, and I think we will definitely be talking about Dishonored when it comes time to pick the best of 2012.
It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.
There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.
Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.
The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam
Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.
I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.
Dishonored's engaging lore, creative levels, and timeless gameplay are well worth revisiting for fans of the immersive sim and stealth genre.

Dishonored is the most important game to come out this year
I don't normally purchase strategy guides with my games but after watching this demo I believe using one at certain points could prove beneficial. Dishonored is going to be an amazing game.
