Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus is one of my all-time favorite games. However, the Thief archetype/stealing are things I’ve always been on the fence about in gaming.

Intro  With hundreds of characters introduced to the series by this point, fans are sure to have varied opinions on which are the best. When it comes to which are the most important, the debate becomes more indisputable.  Marth is the leading character that started it all and has led the charge ever since. But

Fire Emblem 7, otherwise known as The Blazing Blade, has three Lord characters. One of them is the Sacaean swordswoman Lyndis, otherwise known as Lyn.
