For all its problems, Deus Ex 2 is definitely worth a look, especially since modern computage is powerful enough to run it. The game has some idiosyncrasies, but it also does one thing that almost no other game has ever done to me: it made me feel unsure, on a personal/character level, what was right and wrong, and what to do next. It's definitely worth your attention.

Let's hope Eidos doesn't screw these up. I assume no one from the original team will be working on either title, but Thief: Deadly Shadows desperately needed new blood. I have some good ideas for it, maybe they'll hire me.

(though I hear the last one has a really scary level which sounds attractive)

Scout, my old friend, you don't know what fear is.

Shalebridge Cradle is, without question, the most terrifying two hours in gaming. I literally, physically, could not play it alone. A friend came over. I just needed someone else's voice.

The good news? Jordan Thomas, a longtime level designer and the man who created Shalebridge Cradle, is now the Creative Director on Bioshock 2. Let's hope for the best. 🙂
