Re: what are u playing right now?
deus ex is probably my favourite game. played it through countless times.
it was eventually critically acclaimed and considered the best PC games to date.
if you want to get the most out of it, play it with stealth (lockpick, hack, silenced weapons, knifing people in the back).
because i'm a massive geek, i screen capt all of the books/newspapers/emails etc within the game but sharing them would ruin your experience.
there is so much depth to the game if you can be bothers to notice it. there was one point the first time i was playing it where i logged into a 'news bulletin' machine, a totally unexpected message completely freaked me out.
some of the books lying around are excerpts of 'the man who was thursday' a short novel about anarchism (which also happened to be one of my fav books) that fits in so well with the theme of the game. a hotel register contains the same name as the chief protagonist of the novel.
just some examples, but the whole game so much attention to detail it puts newer games (definitely deus ex 2) to shame.
what did you think of chrono trigger? personally i loved it. not a huge SoM fan. more final fantasy and zelda.
