I only bought two games, Undercover and Dead Space. I will probably start Dead Space tonight. Undercover was well worth it.

24 hour Deux Ex sale for its 10th birthday. $2.50 each, $5 for the package deal.

Never played the sequel, is it worth it?

I'd say the sequel gave me $2.50 in fun. It wasn't fantastic and didn't live up to the original (so I've heard for the second part), but was kind of cool.

Any graphical mods or tweaks that i should be looking for?

Deus Ex Invisible War was dumbed down for consoles. This is a real problem when you take a game which was all about being clever and making wise choices. The developers thought they could cut out about 80% of the intelligence of the first game to make something that would appeal to the console kiddies.

The result was the steaming pile which is Deus Ex Invisible War.

I think it was more a limitation of the console than the devs' expectations of the audience. Regardless, the game was crap.

Modern consoles don't have many hardware limitations - yet games tend to be significantly less involved than those developed for the PC.

For instance, I bought Dead Space. The XBox 360 has a hard drive, so why can't you save the bloody thing? The only answer is the target audience.

I can understand graphical limitations, but not story. There is no reason why Dues Ex 2 had to lose all the gameplay elements and deep customization that the first had.

Cool... CS:S is on sale for all you Mac owners. Great game

I liked The Invisible War. ::shrug::

Nowhere near the class of the first game in the series, obviously, but I think it gets a worse rap than it deserves because it IS a sequel to one of the greatest games ever. It certainly does have its flaws, I admit, but I think if it had any other name on the box it would not be seen as the steaming pile of crap that most seem to think it is; Take Deus Ex out of the title and imho it would at LEAST have been considered to be on the good side of average, maybe better.
