I'm actually lying, I think I played it for a little while before. It's the one with the grammaton clerics right?

The 1st mission is totally bollocks so you have to sit through that for 30 mins but after that it will grow on you like a terrible consuming disease and take away all your time for it is just so incredibly awesome.

Imagine bioshock but cyberpunk and not creepy and gay (I am referring to the whole augmentation system where you change the physical traits of your character like an RPG). It's an RPG-FPS but on closed levels. The moral choices you can make are pretty entertaining as well. There are also ways to do levels differently each time around, i.e. without getting spotted or killing anyone (for some levels).

There are a lot of things to put you off to begin with, you just have to give it a chance. If a few of us are gonna play it again (or for the first time) we should make a thread and have some Deus Ex banter 'cause that'd be totally RAD.

picked up GTA4 and Braid two days ago since i already got Mirror's Edge during the last sale.

that's probably gonna be it unless something really piques my interest because i have a lot to look forward to in spring already (APB, Starcraft 2)

Cheers then. I know what I'm buying now.

Yeah but I'm getting the sequel and I've got a thing against not having the first game in a series if I'm buying the second or third, etc. Anyway when I last played it it was enjoyable.

oh god yeah just cause is a POS game. I pirated, played for 20-30 minutes and was totally turned off by how bland it was.

I have it on steam now anyway due to it coming w/ the Eidos pack.

i loved it when i first pirated it on the original xbox. It had the gta-esque feel as well as some parts of mercenaries (which was bomb!). I just loved hooking onto a passing by helicopter from the ground and being ziplined quickly to attempt a hijack. Apparently there is a sequel coming out too which i gotta check out.

also all the other quests are horrific filler bullshit

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

I'm glad I have friends, because I totally lack money at the moment. Friends have bought me X3: Gold and Battlefield 2 though.
