A borderline masterpiece in using simple controller interactions and mechanics to make you feel like you're performing great things, with a lovely visual style, brilliant soundtrack and a story that ramps up the stakes, as you go from tricking some drunkards out of a few coins to literally putting your life on the line. When you pull off a complicated series of deceptions to win a hand of cards and get yourself out of a particularly sticky situation, its absolutely thrilling. When you're in the middle of shuffling the deck, knowing you're up to no good, you can FEEL the eyes of the other players on you.

This is the kind of thing only videogames can do and it should be rightly celebrated.
