Deus Ex (PC)

Ah the future... Advanced technology, cyborgs, corruption and, of course, some awesome guns. Sounds good? Then you will LOVE Deus Ex. This futuristic first person shooter has a whole lot of aces up its sleeves. It features great graphics, brilliant sound effects and music, a gripping plot and as to expected, a whole lot of action. Basically, you take on the role of J.C. Denton, a bionic agent working for the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Corporation (UNATCO). You end up taking on the elite terrorist group, NSF (and there are some interesting twists in the tale). Your missions take you pretty much everywhere, from New York, to Hong Kong.

Created by: Warren Spector's team at Ion Storm Published by: Eidos Interactive Year of release: 2000 This classic PC game, a mixture of First Person Shooter, Role Playing Game, and Adventure Game, is what I (and quite a few other gamers) consider the very best game of all time. It won Game of the Year award in 2001, and even as recently as 2007 was voted Best PC Game of All Time by PCZone (UK) magazine. It spent several years in the planning, going through various transitions and changes of direction, until it finally emerged as the masterpiece that was released in 2000.

Nice suprises these days are few and far between, so finding something even more addictive than dooyoo was a shock to say the least. To say that Deus Ex is amazing would be to do it a great injustice. The quote above (title) is quite appropriate. You play an agent working for UNATCO (the World's leading anti-terrorist agency), in a time of great strife (set in the not too distant future). UNATCO itself is at the forefront of technological advancement, and you are the product of these developments. Augmentation technology has been used to 'improve' UNATCO agents for some time, generally by replacing limbs and body parts with mechanical ...  Read the complete review

Half life redefined the single player fps gaming experience. OK, we knew that the events in it were automatically triggered, that we were "on rails" but the story was so immersive we could almost believe otherwise. Deus Ex finally gives you the freedom you wanted in a first person game. The most exciting thing about this game is that you can approach it with any playing style you want. The game is a fps/rpg set in a future that borrows from films such as Bladerunner and the Matrix. It is based in locations like Paris, New York and Area 51 (Area 51 in a computer game- who would have thought it!). You are an anti-terrorist agent (working for an ...  Read the complete review
