video game extravanga

here's a better blog than mine: http://aplayerpiano.blogspot.com/
I don't know how to link it, so i'll just post it, what the hell.
There's an blog about deus ex, so I think I'll share my sentiments about the game.
Not only is it the best cyberpunk games out there, its pretty much one of the best games ever made, next to half life and gta.



Lets talk about Deus Ex 2, to be original. It's a pretty pap (british for crap) game, and doesn't do justice to the franchise, but its worth mentioning. Again, you modify yourself as a cyborg, and basically become a superior type of being. Like in the Frankenstein narrative, you eventually face off with your makers, although this is done better in deus ex 1. I think I'll reinstall deus ex 2 then talk about it later.
While im on the topic of video games, lets talk about Thief 3, which is another one of the best games ever made. Heres another game with cyborg implementation, albiet it is interestingly set in medieval times. You have a robotic eye, and with it the ability for enhanced sight. definitely not a game to be missed, and an interesting swing on cyberpunk action. plus there is a level where u visit a haunted children's nursery/insane asylum, and it is the scariest thing you will ever see on a screen.


In another game, called Soldier of Fortune, you play a real-life war vet called John Mullins, who has a cybernetically enhanced moustache. I'm not kidding you. Actually I am. But he does have a moustache, and kicks ass with it.
