    I've only played Deadly Shadows, which is the best in the series of three. It's like Splinter Cell in middle ages, but it takes more of an RPG approach in that you steal money in forms of people's jewelry, high-end wine, purses, etc which then can be sold. The money can be used to buy items that will help you in your journey. And you can also go around stealing stuff in between mission in an open-world environment. It's definitely worth trying out.

    I highly suggest grabbing Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. The game is an absolute steal at ~$10.

    Ok thanks guys.

    So are they like two different games, or is Opposing Fronts an add-on or something?
