Rate the Game: Week 121

[M-A-G]

Another good morning to everyone here in the TPWW Universe. August is upon us and we're set to kick it off with something good, I hope? What titles will we have before us that will define this month? We'll get to the pulling out part of this in just a bit but last week's Destiny needs to find its place on the board. I kind of had a feeling it'd be pretty split but what does the overall average say? Let's go to the leaderboard....

Yeah, I figured right. Destiny finds itself with a middle-of-the-road overall rating of 3.0. Not bad but unfortunately that means it lands way on the lower end of things on our list with the ranking of 101. Almost poetically, it finds itself right underneath another Bungie title, Halo 2. It's fair to say it was not destined for glory on our leaderboard.

Perhaps glory is reserved for one of the titles still remaining? Or for all of them? Come on over here bowl and let's get Week 121 into gear. Here we go....

Switching to overhead seems weird. Anyways, Eidos didn't just have the lovely Lara Croft and her tremendous...assets under their banner. They also had a sneaky, sticky-fingered one-eyed thief named Garrett as part of their portfolio. Just our luck, this week's game to rate is the first entry in Garrett's franchise, the PC first-person sneaker Thief: The Dark Project. Garrett might not be as visually appealing nor action-oriented as Lara but maybe he's got enough game under this hood to be a contender on our leaderboard? It's all about stealth and guile as opposed to guns blazing and cracking heads. What do you have to say about it? And then there were four. Until next week!
