[jamesbondman]

Hey, whats your guys favorite stealth/action game? Can be present, past future whatever!

Here are mine...
1. Velvet Assassin
2. System Shock
3. Batman: Arkham Asylum

*Not the best picture of system Shock, but it will have to do for now...

[shabbo]

[elementell]

Actually Velvet Assassin came out for PC on April 30th

[BlackPlastic]

The Metal Gear Solid series. That's the way it is now, that's the way it's been since MGS1, that's the way it will always be.

[Blaze-Heatnix]

The fact that it took 5 posts for Metal Gear to come up scares me.

[Maverick-Alex]

Splinter Cell is stealth at its finest.

[DeIirium]

Tenchu, it has a stronger atmosphere than any other game.
So awesome to sneak up on people and cut their neck with a sword.

Really?

That flew right over my head.

[SuspiciousPenguin]

I would have to say any from the thief series. so epic, or metal gear solid

[Coop3r]

I love me some Splinter Cell.

[Zepwich]

Even tough Metal Gear was stealth, it wasnt stealthy enough, so i would have to say Splinter Cell

[GodsBitch]

I love the Hitman series.

Does anyone know if their will be another game being added to the series at any point? I remember hearing that Blood Money was the last, but the ending left me thinking that there would be another.

[AlkaSeltzer]

Metal Gear Solid takes the stealth cheese so fast you cannot even smell it. Clancy's Splinter Sell and Hitman fail in comparison.

[Fyndir]

The Thief series.

[PaperBagMask]

The stealth in Halo was fucking awesome.

[VonRosenberg]

Socom: US Navy Seals or mgs3.

[Breaderer]

Sly cooper games were good

That's because Metal gear is a

movie

HOHOHOHOHO

[Panzerknacker]

1.MGS
2.Tenchu
3.Thief

I fixed your list for you, it looks better now.

[Rallard]

MGS1-3.

4 was garbage and had didn't require stealth, except for maybe one part.

[zimzap]

1. Thief
2. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
3. Metal Gear Solid 3

[KartoTolmex]

When the OP states his "best of" as one game that's been out for a millisecond, and one that isn't even out yet; the sense of the OP has to be brought into question.

In other words, it appears you're following the "it's shiny so it must be the best" formula.

Fucking idiot.

1. Metal Gear Solid 3, this is the most stealthy one of the lot, and is my favourite.
2. Splinter cell double agent, I've not really played any of the others, and I really enjoyed this one.
3. Hitman blood money, again I've not played any of the others, I'm sure some are better.
:3

Hell yeah!

[H-A-X-O-R-Z]

I doubt you've played Velvet Assassin, and Arkam Asylum isn't out yet.

1. Thief series
2. Splinter Cell
3. MGS (upto 3, 4 sucked)

I'm sorry, but MGS didn't requirenearly as much stealth gameplay as Splinter Cell or Thief did.

[Foustus]

I'll have to go with MGS series
Obviously everyone knows it's a great game at least

But does it really require stealth? I remember playing through Snake Eater as if it was a 3rd person shooter.

Stealth is always the best way to go. More fun that way. But yeah, Stealth is never required, but it sure does help if you know a boss is coming up and want to save your ammo.

I suppose my comment wasn't thought through all that much. There's me saying that Hitman is the best stealth game and there is no stealth required for the most part. You can approach the levels as you want.

Some games though, like Splinter Cell if I remember correctly, do require stealth as they have alarm systems that if set of make you fail the level, or at least make things much more difficult for the player.
