About the Show

Colm Ahern, Josh Wise, and Adam Carroll chat about the sneakiest of interactive media: stealth video games. On each episode, the former Rock Paper Shotgun and VideoGamer critics go in-depth on one stealth / stealthy video game from history and discuss whether its stealth and its boom boom are up to snuff. Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, Dishonored and Hitman: Stealth Boom Boom covers it all.
