So What Did You Score This Year?

It was a Local store, "Librairie Boyer" not a big chain, just a few stores in the local area.

I played the demo of Deus Ex 2, and liked it very much, I absolutely loved the first game, so I'm not surprised that the second is good too.

Cheers!

The second game is one of the best sequals I have ever played. You do need a good graphics card to play it though, and there are differances in game play from the first game.

You should see that in the demo. The game is, should have been, listed as one of the best of the year.

Gamespot rated it an 8.0 Deus Ex IW

But to be honest, this game pails in comparesson to the fine games offered here at Shrapnel. Shrapnel games are amoung the finest games in the market and I strongly recommend any shrapnel game.

I didn't really like Deus EX Invisible War... But the Original game....well, it was incredible. There's very few games I've played since that are In that genre with that sort of depth and notice to detail. Ok, the graphics are ancient now and such, but It still remains one of my favourite games

I also scored a Slow cooker/fryer combo and an imersion blender at the walmart after christmas sales. Got a few programing books, and lots of CDs(filled out my Everclear collection) at the half priced books sale. Also got Way of the Samurai 2,there's a good action game with interesting story elements to it(maybe a little to heavy onthe story elements...). Voice acting is a little wonky but no big deal if you've seen an episode of Kenshin. I also found Earth Seige 2, but I can't get it to install... yet...

Deus Ex was a phonominal game of epic proportion. Very depressing, but still a great game.

I have noticed that the great games are gone now, games like Deus Ex, Tribes, Freespace, Decents, Balders Gate, Diablo, War Craft, System Shock 2, and many many others just have not yet been equaled.

Sure there are a few inovative games, like Farcry, Dominions 2, SEIV, Half Life, Halo, Civ2, and others, but lately most games just seem to be to bloated with code and to short in game play.

Deus Ex 2 for example took me about a fourth of the time that the original did. I think that the emphesis on graphics, and the presure to get it done and out the door ASAP, have kind of ruined the inginuity and inovation that the older games had. One only has to look to Interplay and Microprose to see how dedication to ones craft can ruin your company.

In the Last few years, well since 2001, the games that I have enjoyed the most have been Wolfenstien, MOH, Farcry, SEIV, Deus Ex IW, Tribes 2, Sim City 3 and Sim City 4 Rush Hour, Empire Earth, SOF, Halo, and a few others that I cannot remember the names of.

Farcry should be recognised as one of the best games of the year IMHO. If not, well then the academy has been bought off by advatisers and special interest Groups. Farcry is so far ahead of DOOM3 and even better than Half Life 2. (Farcry is a lot longer game, with a better story and more complete game play. It at least had multiplayer.)
