Anyone with a knowledge of games will know that this is really Thief 3, but as it has been developed for the Xbox and its supposedly ignorant user base the marketing people have decided that this instalment needs a new naming convention. They did the same with Deus Ex, another sequel to a well-loved game that lost its rightful number in favour of a convoluted subtitle, complete with the now obligatory colon. The developers of both titles, Ion Storm Austin, came under a lot of flack for the concessions made to make Dues Ex: Invisible War work on the console. These criticisms seem to have both stung the team while having a positive effect. For the changes made to the Thief template are minor in comparison to the deep perversions that made the sequel to Deus Ex barely recognisable as the progeny of the original.
