I'm playing through Deus Ex at the moment. No, not the new one, the original! Man, what an amazing game that is. For some reason I only played it through once when I bought it 4-5 years ago. Most of it I had forgotten - I've just reached the bit where you have to scuttle the big super freighter - if I remember correctly this level was really dull.

Ahhh, but that was the beauty of Deus Ex - you could play it however you wanted. Say you had to get past an area with a big robot with guns walking around. Do you...

 

1) Take it out with a rocket launcher

2) Hack the computer terminal and put the robot into standby mode

3) Pick the lock on an air duct cover and sneak past it completely

 

That's what makes it such a superb game. To get onto the big superfreighter in the level I'm playing I could have either hacked a computer to get the code to lower the gangplank, sneaked through an air duct and moved a crane over the ship and then lowered myself down, or gone into the sewers and out into the water, and then swam around and climbed up the anchor chain. I too like the shooters but it's great to have a game where you can explore different options and use different methods.

 

I take it you aren't a fan of the Thief series either then?! :)

Quake, Counter Strike, BattleField, Call of Duty, HL2 etc, those sort of games mainly :)

 

I also like Civilisation/Sim City/Theme PArk types of games and Command and Conquer etc, but mainly I just play online, so its gotta be something quick to pick up and get straight into things :)
