Yeah, but I think with SiN it was due to a change in management and maybe poor sales of Episode 1.

A new Deus Ex? Cool, they had something good with the first one, but I think they fucked the second one.

Yeah, the first one was an epic masterpiece, the sequel just felt like a shallow imitation. I never did get around to completing the second one, so I don't know if it gets better near the end.
The only problem I had with the first game is that despite being a supposedly open story where they player decided how it goes, you have very little say in how the game actually plays out.
Anyway, the teaser trailer for the new game is here

Cool. About the 2nd Deus Ex, I heard much critical acclaim. I guess that was just hype.

Well it certainly looked prettier, but the gameplay felt a little flat to me, compared to the first anyway. Better than the average shooter, but didn't live up to it's predecessor.

Right, it didn't live up to the original. You couldn't switch around your biomods, once you chose them you're stuck with em. And depending on your play style that can really hamper your progress. It gets a little better near the end, but it's still a pretty poor game.

That was fast work, you haven't had it a week! Oh and I just bought season one of Sam & Max, it is indeed quite good so far.

Well I played on easy . Plus I've been at home most of the week. There's also an evil ending. Maybe I'll play again to get it. Though even on easy it was still no joke. Those Big Daddys were tough.

Portal is quite clearly the most awesome game of all time ever it is awesome cake etc.
Also, COD 4.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Really, I wasn't expecting portal to end as it did. I found myself checking to make sure I hadn't inadvertently started another game.

I sometimes play N64 or NES...but I don't even own a current console. However, my brother insisted on bringing his PS3 over to show me Portal...damn. That's got to be the best cake I've ever had.
But the whole escape sequence - we were in agreement (for once) that it got really boring. Too much of the same thing, same environment, pistons and crushers with no practical purpose all over the place. GLaDOS was fun, though. Especially "Still Alive."

I can't wait for Episode Three. Gordon and Alyx are going to a ship owned by Aperture Science. I smell a cartoon crossover
