A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game.

Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch? (lemm.ee)

It's kind of sad that one of the greatest video game series is on hold for now.
Conspiracy theories, multiple ways of solving a mission, game lore hidden in computer inboxes...
Are there any (pre-2010) games that gave you the same feeling or do a similar thing?

I thought it reviewed badly? Or is it one of those games that bombs on release and then it grows on people?

I gave it a shot because Bioware, but I didn't stick with it because dialog choices are timed. I can see why, I think, but I was being picky and put it down for the moment.

It wasn't by bioware though, it was obsidian, the guys who did New Vegas.

It reviewed badly, but there's actually a gem of a game hiding in there. A lot of the gameplay feels clunky, but the RPG aspects are really well done (it's Obsidian, they're kind of good at that). It's a spy game that lets you decide whether you're James Bond, Jason Bourne, or Jack Bauer, and really respects those choices in the way the story plays out.
