Let me start off by saying that I have an unhealthy love for the original Deus Ex…no, really. In 2001 I picked it as the Game of the Year when I was writing for Gameloft, and, in retrospect, it is probably one of my favorite games of all time. I also have tremendous respect for Warren Specter, who in addition to being the man most responsible for the original DX, also gave us another of my all time faves, the System Shock games. Given this information, you can see that my expectations going into this sequel were a tad bit high.
