Thick as Thieves is an upcoming stealth game from Thief and Deus Ex devs

I love stealth games. Everything fromHitmantoSplinter Cellto the oldThiefgames is my bag. Even horror games that encourage hiding in the shadows do it for me. I just love being sneaky (read: cowardly). So I was pleased to see that the upcomingThick as Thieveswill almost certainly be ticking that box for me. The trailer shows a new stealthy game that has you leaping about like the acrobatic burglar you are, stealing from the wealthy....

What does the community think of ARMS?

Thank you, based Min Min To me,ARMSlooks like a game born out of the philosophy that gave birth to the breakout hit that wasSplatoon. It is a game with a sharp visual design that doesn’t skimp on color. It’s also a game with a simple conceit that has a hidden pool of skill, rich with mechanics and strategy. Also just likeSplatoon, it seems relatively bare for content but promises a steady stream of free DLC to keep refreshing the game....

Tiny Tower‘s developer, Nimblebit, has noticed the similarities and called out the 2,789-strong company in a wonderfully sarcastic way. Zynga’s relatively short history already has alaundry list of legal tusslesrelating to intellectual property rights, seeing it on both the defense and offense....
