Starfield. BioShock. Dishonored. Some of the greatest PC games of the last two decades owe their inspiration to the Thief series. Originally developed by Looking Glass Studios, of System Shock and Ultima fame, the third Thief, Deadly Shadows, would move to Ion Storm Austin, shortly after it shipped another stone-cold classic, the first Deus Ex. The team that helped build Thief 3 would eventually w...

Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories.  Horror's great when it's contrasted with not-horror.

Are you feeling forlorn for the halcyon days of the Thief series? You may already be aware of The Dark Mod. It’s a fan-made standalone mod that recreates Thief, but isn’t set in the specific universe. With it, fans can create levels for others to enjoy.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I always feel a bit sad when I think about Deadly Shadows.

Along with smooshing mission segments into single load-free levels, Gold makes a few other tweaks, including adjusting...
