New Video Game of Interest

[Nyghtfall]

This August, a new video game called Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be released for the PC and consoles. And, great news - friendlies aren't invincible.

Here's a quote from a recent article on PCGamer.com. I've highlighted the points of interest in bold. Jensen is the name of the character you play in the game:

Pretty soon I find the hostages – they’re only an optional objective, but I screwed this up badly during the console hands-on session. This time I’ve already found the defuse code for the bomb in someone’s’ e-mail, so I stroll in and save everyone easily. Then, I wonder.

How will the game handle it if I save the hostages, then kill them myself?

“Pritchard,” Jensen radios in, as he stabs both fist-chisels through a woman’s ribcage. “I’ve found the hostages.”
“I’m relaying good news, I hope?” Jensen throws the woman’s limp body onto the sofa and turns to the next.
“They’re fine.”

For science, I headshot the rest of them and sneak out the vent. Deal with that, game.

Sounds deliciously fun to me. ];D

This is an almost certain buy for me. I was a HUGE fan of the original Deus Ex game, for reasons having nothing to do with out fetishes. The second one unfortunately got dumbed down and the gameplay changed to accommodate the much simpler interface of consoles, and it was a 'very' sad letdown (uninstalled within an hour and then given away). I hope that this third version is a return to the old style, and from the review, it does sound more like the first than the disappointing second.
