I managed to bag myself a real bargain on this game yesterday. Deus Ex: Human Revolution for just £29.99 with a free 800MS pointscard at Argos (be quick, I think the offer ends on the 9th of September!). Andwow, what a game!

Now I know I haven’t played through this yet so I can’t give it a review,but from what I have played so far, discussions from my friends, and reviewsI’ve read online, this looks like a really special game. Right from thebeginning you can see the attention to detail in how they have presented thisgame, the art style and the music. Sure, some of the character models andlip-syncing look a little off, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Apparently this game can be played to suit your style; you can be stealthy,or gun down everything that moves like a maniac. Personally, I keep trying totake stealthy approach, keeping to the shadows and silently taking out badguys. At the moment, I’m pretty crap at it to be honest. I get fairly farthrough an area unseen, only to be spotted by someone and having to resort toshooting my way through difficult situations. I must be doing somethingwrong…?

For my first play through I think I’m just going to try and work through thegame as best I can. This game is good in the way that it doesn’t really seem topunish you for playing one way or the other. Making mistakes and learning fromthem will surely make me a better player? I hope so anyway!

So, if you have some time free this weekend, go out and buy or rent thisgame. From the moment you start it feels your onto something big. Quite a fewpeople are already giving the game the title “Game of the Year”, but for me I’mstill waiting to experience Batman: Arkham City and Skyrim before I decide whatmy favourite game this year is.

If anyone is playing this at the moment and has some cool tips on how tomaster this game, please feel free to leave them in the comments areabelow.
