Fallout/Oblivion depending on your playstyle (I count them as the same game since they are essentially the same)

My entry: Alpha Protocol

The game is pretty shitty and the animations are super-gay, but it's stealth as we know it. It is like a mix of Mass Effect, Splinter Cell, Syphon Filter, etc. It had a lot of potential, too bad it turned out so bad.

I.G.I 1 and 2 - that was a nice game.
Yes! And I was about to say James Bond, too, but IMO it's not really stealth, you always end up a fight anyway (even the later James Bond games, although Blood Stone also had a KO feature and was played from 3rd person - much like Splinter Cell).

My definition of stealth is sneaking around and leaving no traces (which includes bullet holes, broken lights and dead/KO bodies).

The only game ever where I managed to stick to that "rule of stealth" is in most of the missions in SCCT.

@Dreads entry:
Why is he so obsessed with Oni, it's ok but not great :P

We're talking of stealth games, not ghosting games.

Stealing shit from a safe still leaves a trace. (Either the shit is gone or it's replaced by fake shit. They'll know either way.)

Oh God not a stealth genre technicality argument.

No need to get upset. I just meant that if we are going to talk of 'ghost' games, per definition of that of Lennard's, all of the previous said games will be rated subpar following those rule sets. Which might make people think they're actually very ghostable but are in fact just general stealth games. The kind 'Kill from hiding'.

Hope that clears it up.

...that game made by yahtzee (the game reviewer guy). i think it's called Art of Theft, or something like that.
