I broke down and ordered the latest Thief game. I have fond memories of playing the original many years ago. This one has a great feel to it as the previous ones did. Sam and I spent an hour tonight skulking through the hallways of a castle, slipping past guards. Sam also learned the valuable lesson "it's all about the loot." I had played Deus Ex 2 with high hopes, only to find that it was pretty bad. Thief was made by the same folks using the same engine, so I was pretty nervous about it. Fortunately it so far seems quite good and the reviews have been generally positive.

The great thing about UT2004 is all the mod developers out there. There's a mod called Alien Swarm that's pretty fun - sort of a top-down tactical version of the Aliens movie. There's another called Air Buccaneers that's literally a blast - piloting balloons and shooting cannons at the enemies as you float about. I love the fact that the game has some many people doing such creative things with it.
