10 Best Bows And Arrows In Video Game History

8. Thief

Thief is a stealth-man's game, so much so it lets you sneak through its entire Victorian city without killing anyone. If we had unlimited arrows, we€™d never sneak-thump another guard or maid on the head. If only we had a KO Arrow, like a boxing glove on a stick. We could complain, but we have no right to. Like earlier games in the series, the new Thief gives us so many other arrows to outwit our foes with that we need both hands to count them. The classic Broadhead is an excellent choice for someone simply looking to pierce someone€™s face. Of course, the Fire and Water Arrows spark flames and put them out respectively, while the Blast Arrow explodes on impact, making more of a statement than a gesture. Sounds like a more extreme version of the Fire Arrow to us, and we don€™t know how a high-capacity Water Arrow would even work, so we digress€ Once you€™ve choked a few folks with your nauseating gas €“ and we€™re mostly talking about the Choke Arrow here €“ you can penetrate their thick armor with a heavy-duty Sawtooth Arrow. Time to go to bed in our clock tower. We€™ll just fire a Rope Arrow up to our room. Does anyone have a Blunt Arrow to flip the switch? We left the light on. Oh, right. Victorian Englishness. Torches and all that. We€™ll need a Water Arrow.

He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
