The stealth genre has grown quite a bit since the days of sneaking past guards in Castle Wolfenstein on the Apple II, and while it’s had some ups and downs since then, the genre is still relatively healthy all these years later. Included in its growing ranks are classics like Metal Gear, Splinter Cell, Hitman, Thief, and Assassin’s Creed, as well as new takes on the genre such as recent releases Dishonored and Mark of the Ninja. We here at GameTyrant thought it would be worth a small roundtable discussion about the best, and admittedly our favorites, in the stealth genre. I’m up first, so let the opinion begin!

Matt’s Best: Batman: Arkham Origins

Matt Mueller: This almost went to either Splinter Cell: Conviction and Batman: Arkham City, but the improvements that were made in Arkham Origins just put it a nudge above both of those titles.

Joy Bryant, Gina Gershon, Desmond Harrington, Ali Larter and Dominic Purcell will star in Hyperion Pictures' Three Way Split for director Scott Ziehl. The suspense drama will begin shooting June 8 in Los Angeles. The project is based on Gil Brewer's 1963 pulp novel Wild to Possess, described as a darkly comic story of murder, kidnapping, blackmail and sexual deception. Russell Marleau adapted the script, which he will also produce with Christian Mills. This is the first production greenlighted under the first-look producing deal Marleau and Mills signed with Hyperion last year. Hyperion principals Kurt Albrecht, Tom Wilhite and Willard Carroll will executive produce with Brainstorm Media's Meyer Shwarzstein. Richard Middleton is the co-producer.
