Thief featured in Newsweek 12/21 Cyberscope

here's the 1/4 page Newsweek on page 8
under an impressive screenshot of a bad guy.

Try to Catch a Thief
Most First-Person games are simple: if anybody moves, kill'em. Looking Glass Studios' Thief: The Dark Project ($49.94;417-547-1200) shows that it's just as much fun to be sneaky and sly. As cynical master thief Garrett, you carry out a number of missions, stealing from corrupt government officials and finding ancient artifacts. The graphis are beautiful, but the gameplay is even more inspired. You can sneak up behind a foe, knock him out with a blackjack, then hide the body. And instead of a gun, Garrett's main weapon is a bow with an assortment of arrows: water arrows put out torches so you can walk unnoticed; moss arrows create grassy areas over noisy floors so you don't make a sound. Just don't steal the game.

You guys might want to check out Midway at these prices. I don't think their Christmas sales will be as strong as Eidos, but they've had fairly consistent positive earnings. I picked up some MWY shares today. I'm long on EIDSY too.
