Shack PSA: Deus Ex Bundle $5 on Steam

by Chris Faylor, Apr 21, 2010 1:00am PDT

If you fancy yourself a die-hard gamer but don't own Ion Storm's classic Deus Ex or its less-beloved sequel Deus Ex: Invisible War, don't fret. Steam has you covered.

Deus Ex: The Conspiracy and Deus Ex: Invisible War

For the next few days, the digital distribution outlet is offering both shooters, together, at $5. Or, for those who really want to avoid Invisible War, a mere $2.50 each.

Such "Midweek Madness" sales usually end on Thursday afternoons, so be sure to act fast to justify your a) outcry or b) support regarding Eidos' impending prequel.

I bought this to have the original on Steam to save me from digging out the cd to reinstall the next time I play it. My understanding is that this deal includes two games, but there's just a blank spot in my Steam games list under Deus Ex. Like, there is supposed to be a sequel but it just doesn't exist in my game library, sadly. I double-checked this article to see if there's any mention of such a game, but I can't seem to find it. It's probably unrelated, but if I stare at the blank space next to the single screenshot of Deus Ex above, I start to get a headache.

Tonight I corrected a lifetime wrong and purchased the original for a paltry $2.50. Years ago I tried Invisible War on the Xbox and immediately re-sold it. I have such high hopes for the original.

Playing the original should be mandatory for every citizen of the World.

It's corny, it doesn't take itself seriously all the time, it's made up of highly flawed parts... but you can't help feeling like the game succinctly explained everything that is right and wrong with the world past, present and immediate future in just 27 hours of fun.

There is a DirectX 10/11 renderer available for this. It works on the Steam version. It also supports older Unreal Engine games like Rune. It does nice things like High Resolutions, Widescreen, Anisotropy, AA, Forcing 32 bit colour.

It's still looks like a '90s game, but at least with this you can run it easily on modern systems.

Not playing this game (if you've never played it) when it's available for this price is criminal, just plain criminal.
