Deus Ex and Mafia still cut the mustard for me.

Deus Ex is my 2nd favourite PC game ever next to Doom. I have yet to play a game that has rivaled the story for Deus Ex. Ion Storm may have released the atrocity known as Daikatana, but Deus Ex and Anachronox were the shit.

First PC game I ever played was Duke Nukem II on those 5.25" floppys. Good times.

- Well said!

The storyline for Deus Ex is just about as credible as sci-fi gets. Totally immersive as well.

Think I'll buy the cheapie compilation at the weekend and see how it looks on this souped-up PC of mine!

2nd fave eh?

It's my 2nd fave too - after Realms of the Haunting, which, oddly enough, utilised the original Doom engine.

Best.
Storyline.
Ever.

I love that game so much that I still have the 6-disk 1997 original (outsize box and everything) and it has followed me through four changes of address in that time!

Masters of Orion...... Rise of Nations.......and Silent Hunter III loved em all !

all time fave has to be :

IL2 1946 ..... THE dogs bollocks....

I put Warcraft 3 into the laptop and the (9 year old) boy loves it.

Personally I still love Syndicate Wars.

Deus Ex is fucking dynamite. Absolute scorcher of a game; the story and the cyberpunk aesthetic are total badassery. I fired it up on my laptop a couple of months ago and I must've burned at least 30-40 hours playing through it; there aren't many games around with that kind of replay value. Shame about the dodgy sequel, though.

I've been playing a little bit of Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines between bouts of Football Manager recently. On the highest difficulty setting, it's still borderline impossible. Took me about two hours to get passed the first bleedin' level...

Deus Ex was and still is a brilliant game. Took ages to complete which was brilliant, whereas the sequel was designed for consoles and took about 10 minutes.

That's a unique game definitely worth coming back to, but yeah it's not easy and very hard to even get into, and heavy on strategy when you do.

I'm gonna have to get me Deus Ex off Steam at some point. They have it going for $6.

What else... I played through original Half-life recently, that's still a cracker. I wouldn't mind getting Jedi Knight 2 as well as the first game is great.

I should check out Syndicate Wars again 'cos I only had the Playstation version which was cut down if memory serves. Blowing up buildings with mini-nukes is totally my kind of fun

Hell yeah. You can get it on Abandonware. I installed it on DOSbox on my laptop about six months ago, brought back a heap of ace gaming!!
