We didn't want to start this post with another "if," so we didn't. But if you've ever entertained the idea of re-purchasing the original Deus Ex and that other game in the series, now seems like a great time do so. The Steam sales gurus have set up a "Midweek Madness" sale that bundled the first two Eidos-developed FPSes for a ridiculously low-price: $5.00. For the next couple of days too, you can also grab each at $2.50. We should note alongside this that the version of Deus Ex in the sale is the Game of the Year Edition.
While we doubt you'll find the time to jump back into the Deus Ex universe, we understand why you might bite on this one. The new Deus Ex does indeed look wicked rad, and a little understanding of the series won't hurt the experience.
[Thanks, Darren!]

And it runs on damn near anything these days. Even my weak little laptop!
anyways, discuss.
It was only until just recently that I was informed that you didn't *have* to go out the apartment window. That alone makes this worth a buy for me.
Actually, it was when Paul turned up in IW. I was all 'wut-teh-fux, mang.'
In fact I think that when I go to PAX this year I'm going to bring a bunch of those old games and stuff along with my Dreamcast stuff to give it away and get it to someone that actually wants it.
Hmmm... gonna have to think of some contest to win old shit... from an old... uh.. yeah, gonna have to think of another contest name.
Damn I'm cheap.
mods to go along with the gameplay ones.
I'd link to some, but I'm on on my phone an it'd be too much work :)
The gameplay of the first was better however.
Without making manual changes to the settings files, or using anything other than the in game options menu I was able to go all the way up to 1680x1050 resolution, and did not experience any awkward FOV issues. Furthermore with just a few quick downloads I had the option to scale down the UI and swap out the renderer for a more modern version (newer openGL, DX9 or DX10) In total it took about 10 minutes to get everything perfect, with another 10-15 to configure various enhancement mods to work with the steam version.
DX2 on the otherhand required editing two different settings files, putting them both on read-only, and then hex-editing an engine file to get to 1680x1050 without FOV issues. In addition to that, to actually use anti-aliasing under that setup I had to force it on through my drivers, and to get the UI scaled correctly I had to go and make even more edits to the settings files, most of which was guesswork. This whole experience took about an hour and a half due to slow loading times (Why does it take the same amount of time to load the main menu as the first level?) and just the imprecise nature of it all.
