    Spies

    Concept »

    Spies are the masters of espionage. They're also (usually) quite adept at the art of stealth, disguise, and assassination.

    Who is the best video game spy of all time?

    i want to say the guy from Thief but hes more of an assassin isnt he.  
    And Ezio is the same deal. Snake form MGS series is not a spy he is a special ops one man team. Same with Fisher.  
    So when i think about it i can only find Spy from TF 2 to actually be a spy.

    Sam Fisher or Solid Snake, though Snake really isn't much of a spy I guess.  More like a sneaky lone-wolf bad-ass spec-ops dude.  Fisher was definitely a spy to me in the original games, definitely a sneaky lone-wolf hard-ass spec-ops dude in the new game.

    Yes, have to go with Cate Archer, I've realised that all the PC games that I liked when I was a teenager were very unique to that period, and I miss them alot. :'(

    I fully agree with Cate Archer, i dont know if ou could say otherwise if you played the games before

    Gotta go with Cate Archer on this one. NOLF is still probably one of my favorite shooters of all time, and I always liked how well-developed of a character she was, in addition to being a total badass. What I would give for a NOLF 3...

    Wonder if NOLF would hold up today? My exposure to it was limited by the fact my PC was a piece. Where would one even find such a game these days?
    Well I played NOLF 2....I think it would be about a year ago now, and frankly that game was the most fun I had with an FPS is a LONG damn time, graphics are very early PS2 quality, but the game runs smooth, plays great, and most of all FEELS totally different, fresh and fun.

    Yeah in terms of super secret double undercover government agent types I guess old school Sam Fisher (Chaos Theory and earlier) is it. Although, his is a bit of a modern rip-off of the James Bond model (minus the high-society/ladies man part).
     
    And Snake in any of his incarnations (Solid, Naked, Liquid) is not a spy. He is sent into those missions to blow shit up not to get info and sneak out.

    The spy the Spy Hunter was hunting.  I use to play the shit out of Spy Hunter and never once saw that spy.  Hence he is the best spy ever.

    So I looked up No One Lives Forever on the TVTropes page and found this little bit:

    A spoof of 1960s spy movies, it was followed by a Sequel, No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy In H.A.R.M.'s Way (which involved fighting ninjas in a trailer park in Ohio during a tornado and an evil assassin French mime, among other things),

    There is no way that I am not going to play this game at some point, blocky turd graphics or not. Someone get on a goddamn remake, right now. Kickstart this.

    This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:
