The Art of Theft is a mission-based stealth platformer, with an emphasis on gameplay over story. Your goal is to infiltrate a variety of buildings in Chapow City, steal loot, achieve objectives and get out again with the subtlety of a flickering shadow in a ninja outfit.
I love this dude with the sort of love that only men can understand. Man love. Mad man love yo.
In all honesty, I didn’t even realize that our favorite game reviewer was also an aspiring game designer. I think that my biggest question lies not in “how’s the game?” (I’ve downloaded it, but have yet to play it) but “where the hell’s this dude find the time?” Only having the ability to speak confidently for my own personal situation I’m pretty damn sure that I couldn’t pump out a 4 minute animated video review every week and still find time to dump out. Around here we barely have time to shit out daily posts and record the BitCast.

It’s a Castro District kind of love.

Great quote about man love:
What was once “the love that dare not speak its name” has now become “the love that won’t shut up”.

I would love for Yahtzee to review his own game.

I loaded up this game last night after work and somehow managed to lose a couple of hours playing it.
It’s a good game, a hard game, but doable. I had to redo a couple levels a few times to get by it but it didn’t feel like work to redo the levels.
I’ll have to play it some more, but the brief time I’ve had with it so far has been good.
On a side note, Yahtzee is a ballsy guy to trash talk games every week and then release one of his own. But I respect that.
