Are you familiar with E.Y.E. Divince Cybermancy? Supposed to be like (the original) Deus Ex. I have some extra Steam copies. I haven't played that one either, but it looks like it has a bit of a learning curve.

No not familiar with that one, the original Deus Ex or the other sequel. I could never get past the fiddely interface and outdated graphics of Deus Ex1 when I tried it back in the day despite it's strong reviews (So I'm only going to be less impressed if I tried it again).

I've got a Steam account because you got AvP2000 free one time but other than that and a few other older titles I don't game on my PC anymore (Not got the specs). I was a loyal PC user and builder until the belated release of GTA4, which when it finally did show up wouldn't run properly despite my PC at the time being top of the range. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle constantly updating an expensive gaming PC anymore, so I switched to a handy laptop and a console. Been very happy with my PS3 and Vaio ever since.

Yeah, that sounds a lot like the reason I converted to console in ~2001. But I'm back to PC now. Pretty happy with that decision.

I haven't played Human Revolution yet, but I'd be surprised if it was as deep as Deus Ex 1. They just don't make games like that anymore. Deep's probably not the right word... but even with Bioshock Infinite's 1999 mode, it's still not nearly as 1999y and 1999 games were. Deus Ex 1 is very 1999y. I am excited to play HR, but don't expect it to be as 1999y as Deus Ex 1.

Check out some youtube videos of E.Y.E. sometime and see what you think. It's apparently so 1999y that it's 1998y.
