“The entire hall was in ruins and still in the process of being destroyed, as dozens of combatants hurled weapons, deadly, arcane magics, and themselves at on another in a desperate struggle to be the last one standing. Plumes of acrid green smoke rose from the pile of limp bodies you dragged yourself out of, having barely escaped the wrath of some fiendish spell. There it was – across the way, through the battling throng, through the bloodthirsty battle ahead of you, sitting untouched on a miraculously upright table – your pint of mead! And you’d get it back, if you had to kill every last one of the brawling tavern patrons to do it!”

Didn’t we just have a “You should really play Planescape” post? :P

We did. This is someone else saying it, plus he includes some other games even I’m guilty of.
I never managed to beat Deus Ex. Got stuck fighting a turret I couldn’t hack down a long hallway. And I refused to look up the guide.

I never beat Deus Ex either, though I think I got pretty far. There’s someone in an airplane that it’s obvious you have to kill and they kicked the crap out of me. I was very disappointed I couldn’t stab them in the back to kill them, unlike every other character in the damn game…

Ah, the classics. It’s a good list, but I think everyone has their own list of classics that they think everyone should play (Star Control and Xcom (which Phokal was generous enough to get me new copies of) would be on my list).
I never played Deus Ex, but I picked up Deus Ex 2, because, well, 2 is bigger than one and must be better.
I never really got into it.

Steam is pretty sweet. Disappointed with this week’s sale of R6V2 for $10. Not quite cheap enough, and the 360 is the primary platform for it.
