Thief 3 is the main thrust of the article; Splinter Cell and my current single player obsession Manhunt also get a mention.

Hey Beast, what was the name of the game you mentioned a few weeks ago that was so violent it was in danger of being banned in some countries?

I'm thinking I need to buy it today.

I think the game you are looking for is Manhunt put out by Rockstar. Incredibley violent....almost to the point of unbearable from what I hear.

That's the one...call me a sicko if you will, but I find the over-the-top violence cathartic.
