If it is Deus Ex, I ruined myself by playing Deus Ex 2 first (I did actually finish it too), although I have Deus Ex I never played past the tutorial (sacrilege! heretic! traitor!). At least it'd mean I should reinstall it and play it through properly.

Im assuming your talking about psychonauts still. I completely understand where your coming from.Ajar said:
The first time I put the game in and sunk a couple hours into it, I was quite surprised that this was the game everyone had been raving about so much. It wasn't until I forgot about what other people where saying and lost myself in the story and the characters that I began to really enjoy it.
I feel the same way about ICO. Everyone goes on about it so much, that when I finally got around to playing it all I could think was that it was a pretty standard platform puzzler with a story that didn't make any sense.
Guilty as charged re: ICO. 
Yeah, I was talking about Psychonauts. I'm definitely enjoying the game, especially the twisted humour... but it really hasn't blown me away like, say, Shadow of the Colossus did. For reference, I just finished the Milkman level that everyone raves about. I liked it, but wasn't floored the way a lot of people seem to have been. Of course, the fact that I hate collecting stuff in games doesn't really endear the game to me.

A little past Tuesday, any consensus on this? Not exactly the hardest thing to deicide I'd have thought, unless there truly is only one good game to discussRuss Pitts said:

Expect an official announcement this coming week. And if you want to get a head start, Deus Ex would be a safe bet.
If I wanted to get a head start, and were willing to bet on Deus Ex, does anyone have recommendations as to the best way to obtain it? I see that Steam has it for 9.95 (or bundled with Invisible War for 19.95, 5 cheaper than buying separately). OTOH, Amazon merchants have the boxed version (which includes soundtrack CD, and "newspaper" according to Wikipedia) for ~8.50 with shipping (but with an inherent shipping delay).
Then again, there's a PS2 port called Deus Ex: The Conspiracy, which seems to be about the same, and can be had in a similar price range from online merchants. Gamefly has it as well, so that's an option for others, but I'm not in that crowd.
Thoughts, anyone?

Geoffrey, I would love to find out whats in said newspaper, and the soundtrack is pretty good, so I may have to rebuy this just for that. If all you want is the game for now, steam seems convenient, I've seen GOTY Edition Jewel Cases at various vendors for not too much at all.
@Geoffrey42 Stick with the PC versions of the game. From what I heard Invisible War was not great, however I've not personally played it.
If your big on having the box then order the game from Amazon. However I didn't find the game's music to be exceptional good, and the "newspaper" is probably cool, but unless you collect that kind of thing...
So in the end I'd say just get it off of Steam, grab both games, 'cause hell Invisible War could be good. Or could be shit, but at twenty bucks for two games with Deus Ex being worth twenty by its self your not going to feel ripped off.

Play the PC version if at all possible. This game was MADE for the PC in ways that few games have ever been. Computers in the game recognize keyboard commands for copy and paste. Numberpads in the game recognize your keyboard numberpad.
Also, if you have trouble with the training mission, just skip it. It's only partially important, and harder than most of the game.

I'll get onto Deus Ex then, thanks Russ.
And don't play it on a console. Its a PC game, through and through, especially control wise (which is partially why Deus Ex 2 sucked, being made for a console at the same time made the controls really poor on the PC version).
