It's not really a single genre. Basically, you can choose whether you'd like to play it as a 3D shooter (not as much action as you'd be accustomed to if you've played other shooters) or as stealth game (much like Thief or Splinter Cell).

I really resent it when people say you can play Deus Ex as a 3D shooter like Quake 3 or something (I'm not having a dig at CaptainNuss specifically)... you can't play it as a runny jumpy bang-bang-kill-everything shoot em up because you just get pwnt. The game really isnt designed for it, when i first got the game I tried it with my mad Quake3 skillz and i lasted about 5 seconds.

Games that say you can play them stealthily or all out attack almost always have to be played stealthily. The only exception i can think of is FarCry, where guns blazing actually is a viable tactic if your good at that kind of gameplay, but sneaky sneaky works too.

As I said in my post, it doesn't have as much action as the Q3 type of shooter, but there is a difference between sneaking past a guard, sneaking up to a guard and using a prod to disable the guard or just running up to him and shooting him with a sawed-off shotgun.

I just reached the final part of the game, btw!

i play animal crossing alot, and tony hawk pro skater/underground all the time. (i have 4 for ps2 and xbox and 3 for 64 and xbox=very sad) other than that i jump around between all sorts of games (new and old) for about 30 sec. to 30 min. each than my attention is exahusted and i go annoy my family for the rest of the day. (they dont like me too much i think [not because i annoy them they are annoyed by me because they dont like me])

Beat Maximo, Ghosts to Glory

Now Playing on PS2:

Prince of Pursia, Sands of Time

[CaptainNuss]

I beat Deus Ex! Has taken me about 26 hours and almost 1100 savegames. ("Save early, save often.") I just saw the third of three endings. Great game! The sad part is, I have no idea what to tackle next...

If your just a PC gamer then I would suggest:

Thief: Deadly Shadows
Medal Of Honor Series (fun both offline & online)
Command & Conquer Generals
Halo


also check out the recently released MOH: PA DEMO

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't really have money for any new games at the moment though, just bought the parts for a new computer, so it'll come down to play something I already have, but haven't beat yet. Just installed Colin McRae Rally 2, haven't finished the championship there. Also, I'll start playing UT 2004 again when I have assembled the new computer.

All time favorite: Freecell!

controversial here:

Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness (ooooooo)

yes, it is nowhere near as good as it should be, but still. im playing the pc version, so its a little easier to control than the damn ps2 version. its actually not that bad. i have like, every single other tomb raider game on the pc, so i kinda was like, i'll buy it, and because i was expecting it to be dire, i was pleasantly surprised.

another game: Shadow Of Memories. theres a cool game

[CaptainNuss]

Dug out my copy of SWAT 3, playing it for the first time now. Pretty cool game.

[Twilightseer]

Since I've beat R-Type FINAL, (yay me ), I've started a new game and it's Silent Hill 2. Survival horror at its best, or I should say at his worst. Quite franly, I haven't been so scared by a game since the first Resident Evil.

[Niffle]

Still have an unopened copy of Silent Hill 3 next to my PS2 from last year. Not sure whether its because my PS2 gaming has become close to obsolete or beacuse i'm just to damn sh** scared to play it! I'm deeply scarred from the first one I played back on ye olde PS1

Praps i'll keep hold of it for when those cold dark winter nights draw in!

Trying to play emulated final fantasty tactics (PSX) but cant get used to controlling a strategy game with a game pad.

That is a good idea, that's when these games are played best, I'm hanging on to finish up Resident Evil Zero on the cube, there is just something about playing a Horror game in the summer with the windows open and the warm sun streaming in that just dosn't seem right....
