Yeah, pretty sure Ghost was 3PS with stealth elements. It's too hard to do a FPS with stealth elements since you can't really see what you need to see.
Thief However, if Blizzard doesn't see that (again imo) RTS games have moved away from being slow moving resource crunching games to faster moving battles, I think they won't have the success they are aiming for.
That said: World of Starcraft would blow the sales of Starcraft 2 out of the water, imo.
I prefer the slower-paced games myself. C&C III and Ages of Empires kick my ass. I don't want playing against the computer to be like playing against a Korean 13 year-old, that's what online content is for.

Such is the life for most RTSs these days - even the good ones.
Naeg. I can still hop into an EBStop and buy a SC battle chest. This game is older than some of the gamers playing it now.

Starcraft Ghost? 3rd Person Action, I believe. You don't model a chick like that and then make it first person. It's a waste of time.
You make it first person if you can look down at boobies.

Guys. Guys. Guys.
I was going to write an article on this, but hell, here's why it's funny.
1. Pits Mythic against Bioware Austin. 2. Brings in a shitload of talent that will either quit, or help EA fix Madden (lol). 3. WARHAMMER or Bioware MYSTERY TITLE will see the light of day. One studio will engulf the studio of the other. 4. RACE TO BEAT WOW, LOLOLOLOLOLOL. 5. They just killed Atari in one, single blow. Next purchase, Atari, for pennies on the dollar. 6. They just bought the only decent RPG PC Group in America. Oh, right Obsidian. Bioware's bitch. Like they matter. Wriggling corpse of Black Isle imo. 7. LOL ATARI. 8. LOL WAR BETA. 9. LOL DRAGON AGE. 10. LOL - Pandemic is actually pretty good. 11. They just got a shitload of great licenses.
There's like 50 more reasons it's hilarious. Why don't I care? Because I'm a clown!
Who has two thumbs and called it? I'll give you a hint:

Hello article that neglects to mention that the CEO quit. And that the restructuring will probably lead to DEATH. >_< Well ok, maybe not death. But an Acclaim like death. A company that just doesn't matter anymore.

Atari hasn't mattered in over 20 years.

Atari hasn't mattered in over 20 years. Mattered to Bioware and a few other companies. As they supposedly were a decent publisher to work with.

Maybe they'll be the new Atlus?

Nope. NISA is the new Atlus. Atlus is dicking around with DS games, though they have FES, Riviera, and Baroque coming down the pipe. As well as a few *other* things.

This surprises me. Mostly because the games I've bought from Atari have invariably ended up shitty shit shit and/or bugged to hell.

I thought "Atari" was Infogrames, anyway.

It is. Apparently the talk in the streets is its Infogrames in the US so if/when it fucks up the original company is still fine.

By "a few other things" are you referring to Spectral Force 3 coming to the U.S. (having been released in last year in Japan on the 360) and Operation Darkness which both just got announced for the 360?

There's some more PS2 stuff as well.

I love the sound of Operation Darkness (from Gamespot): Operation Darkness is a strategy role-playing game that puts a fantastical spin on the European front during World War II, giving players magical powers to thwart Hitler's advancing tide. Atlus did not attach a developer to the game, though it did launch an official teaser site.
