    you might like bioshock.

    i know, doesn't seem like the best answer, but there is alot of safe cracking, hiding from cameras kind of stuff.

    searching for tapes, hidden rooms, it's fun even if your not a great fan of shooters.


    also, it has an amazing story you would love.

    Any Splinter Cell game should be right up your alley.

    I play Agatha Christie games. My favorite is "And Then There Were None" in terms of storylines (even if they botched the ending), followed closely by "Evil Under the Sun."
