Hey everybody, welcome to the new series I am kicking off entitled N2K, or Need 2 Know. I want to begin reviewing games in an extensive manner offering thoughtful criticism and impressions on my experiences to better inform you about the game itself but also to allow for a basis for others to share their own experiences.

Today's game is Monaco: What's Yours is Mine, published by PocketWatch Games. I have been seriously excited about this game and I hope you guys can be too! It was excellent and I want to thank PocketWatch for allowing me to obtain a review title for both PC and Xbox360 titles. I inter-mix them frequently in the review video so see if you can catch the differences! Anyways, thanks for your time and viewership and since this is my first review, feel free to give me constructive criticism as I put a lot of time and thought into this! Have a great day and happy heist-ing!

Assemble a crack team of thieves and execute the perfect crime. Sneak, steal, and run for your lives in single player or with up to four friends in local or online co-op.
Monaco is a new twist on stealth: don't expect to play the game without being seen or chased.

Single player is best for those who are new or prefer a stealthier, more strategic game. Single player speed running is also a blast.

Multiplayer can feel like a chaotic party game or a well-planned Ocean's 11 style heist, depending on your team's play style.
