It is, I guess I should mention, the best game I've played in four years. Human Revolution is a prequel: a global conspiracy thriller set at a time when replacing your body parts with high-tech prosthetics is a violently controversial new trend.


Despite a sequel in 2003, the first is still considered by me, this magazine, and a lot of our readers as the best game ever made. The Deus Ex games are first-person shooter RPGs that let you approach your objectives in a way that suits you: direct violence if you enjoy it, stealth if you don't, and throwing heavy objects around if you like getting caught, beaten and shot.
