Give me a Square Enix version of Deus Ex. Hell, just give me a new Deus Ex. One with Limit Breaks....yeah, that'd work. Overdrive Augment? Either way, just give me a new Deus Ex, and I'll love you forever Square (well, you've had me with the FF series, but that's a different story).

It's ridiculous that Deus Ex, one of the best games ever regardless of platform or genre, hasn't sold more.
