Deus Ex Released on Good Old Games
As part of their addition of Square Enix as a publisher, Good Old Games has released Warren Spector’s dystopian classic, Deus Ex, for sale this week.
Deus Ex is without a doubt one of the best, most influential games in history. PC Gamer and PC Zone both have named it the best PC game of all time. It has received countless numbers of “Best”, “Greatest” and “Top” game awards. The story of JC Denton is a perfect fusion of RPG, FPS, and adventure. The world of Deus Ex is immense, the storyline is ambitious and layered, and the freedom of choice guarantees high replayability.
Ancient conspiracies, secret agendas, political intrigues, twisted plots, nanotech-augmentations, difficult moral choices, twenty-four weapons, intense action, deep character customization – it’s all here and it truly combines into a cohesive whole. The depth of the in-game experience and interaction will engage you on a level unparalleled by any other game.
It’s the Game of the Year Edition, the same as can be found on other digital distribution services, and it is rather competitively priced at $9.99. It should include the latest game updates as a result, as well as an editing toolkit, the soundtrack, and a newspaper clipping (scanned, of course) describing recent events in the world the game is set in. If it doesn’t include at least these elements, Dragons and Dragonettes, complain loudly.
Oh, and you can get Hitman: Codename 47 as well.
It should be noted that Deus Ex is also one of.the most overrated games of all times though. 😛
Overrated? Then what is Diablo or Call of Duty? 😉 Rather underrated. Sales numbers were not so great until the third part. I hope that this release compatible with New Vision (it is like Beautiful Britannia, but for Deus EX). Otherwise, there will be patch soon.
Little known fact – a patched retail version of Deus Ex has some differences with the GOTY version (it’s mostly better).

I, of course, have the original retail version. ;>
Speaking of Deus Ex, let me introduce you to my new favorite game critic:

I highly recommend watching all of his videos. You can start from his retrospective takedown of Invisible War.
And here’s Invisible War being trashed by its own lead designer.
Awaiting moderation…
Sales has nothing to do with a game being overrated or underrated.
Hmm. I’m getting an automatic Youtube embedding that breaks the site’s layout.
Where…here, or at GOG?
Oh: I see…heh. The videos show up as links in the WordPress iOS app.
Uhm…I guess there’s something I’ve got set in WordPress that’s causing YouTube URLs to render as embeds. I should think about turning that off, whatever and wherever it is.
There: Explicit hyperlink tagging FTW.
Here, on this very comment thread. The links I posted.

A tribute to cybernetically augmented warriors everywhere. Deunan and Briareos too.
