Currently rocking spot #5. Would've been higher but I was delayed by the soda machine. I wanted orange, it gave me lemon-lime!
Invisible War was a rushed product that Harvey Smith and the rest of the B-Team put out after Warren Spector left the doomed Ion Storm ship. Just think, if John Romero and all the others at the Dallas office hadn't been so incompetent, Deus Ex could've had two or three good installments before 2005. It isn't terrible in my opinion, just so lacking compared to DX1. The story was derivative, the endings were universally dystopian, which I personally found a bit off (Congratulations on breaking the world, hero.). Also the first installment in a great PC franchise to be "dumbed down for the console 'tards" as it were.
So far, apart from having some "twists" that are blindingly obvious already (I'm only just past the first mission) Human Revolution plays like a modern Deus Ex game should, and has me in its grasp. Only thing keeping me from playing right now is an imminent move to a new townhouse. Adam Jensen seems a bit like the antithesis of JC Denton as a protagonist. Yeah, they're both trenchcoat-wearing badasses, but JC is government, Adam is corporate, JC was literally made for the job, Adam is human and was augmented against his will (arguably).
