This week Zero Punctuation has to be a sneaky bastard in order to review Thief: The Dark Project.
Sequestered in its own cozy corner of the PC gaming world is TTLG.com. This acronym stands for “Through the Looking Glass," an homage to Looking Glass Studios. It’s also likely as not a reference to the second Alice in Wonderland story of the same name because of the wonder that Looking Glass’ games opened its fans towards. Above all of Looking Glass’ masterpieces, their two Thief titles offered the most special wonder.
Thief's cast of monster NPCs makes it unique among stealth games. Sneaking by humans is one thing - sneaking by beasts is quite another.
Thief fan-mission author Gaetane brilliantly captures whimsy and character in her missions' backdrops.
That takes me back, looking glass used to be one of favorite developers, before they folded.
