Deus Ex - Human Revolution
Anyone who has read my articles knows that Deus Ex and I have a long history. In a world where I feel like PC games are made specifically to irritate me I am comfortable in the knowledge that there is a warm and loving copy of Deus Ex waiting for me to come in from the cold. When Human Revolution was first announced, I was apprehensive and anyone who has played Invisible War will know why (it sucked ridiculous amounts of cock.) Deus Ex provided me with something stable and deep, drawing on real world conspiracies and legends to create a fictional world that is rich an expansive in spite of the fact that the buildings on the horizon appear to be made of cardboard with its face blurred out on a cop show. For the most part, leading up to release, I kept my head buried firmly under my blanket, ignoring all press information on Human Revolution. This was partially out of fear that it would be... how do you say... fucking abysmal; but also because of a tiny 12 year old inside me eagerly hoping that perhaps I'd be surprised by an old friend holding a box of chocolates in one hand and a compelling narrative in the other.
