Stomped has a short interview with Sheldon Pacotti, the scriptwriter on Deus Ex. They talk about what it is like writing dialog for a computer game, especially a non-linear one and his thoughts on the finished game, as well as if he'll be working with the ION Austin team again.

Last night the Deus Ex demo was released. If you didn't grab the 139mb demo yet (I imagine all those on a 56k or less modem haven't, or are still trying), here are mirrors which might be quicker now: GameCenter, 3D Action Gamers, 3D Downloads, Stomped, Fileleech, Meccaworld, 3D Files, 3D Unlimited, AGN.
If you aren't able to find a fast download site among these, your connection just sucks :) For those who did get it, how are you all liking it? Post in the comments or vote in the new poll Steve put up. Also don't forget the Warren Spector interview on Gamecenter.

GameCenter has an interview with Warren Spector, designer of Deus Ex. They talk to him about Deus Ex, the future of action gaming, the closing of Looking Glass and more.

The Deus Ex demo from Ion Storm scheduled for release tonight on Gamecenter is running into some snags but it looks like it will still be released today. 7pm update: Its Oout! Grab the demo here. (Thanks Stomped)

- Civilization is near collapse. The world economy is in chaos. The middle class no longer exists. Deadly viruses have ravaged the earth's population. Terrorism runs rampant. It's five minutes before the apocalypse.
- This demo features one full mission and the training mission taken from the retail version of game. This demo version of Deus Ex will not work in Germany. Eidos will be releasing a German version very soon.

Here are a bunch of screenshots of Deus Ex ( and newer E3 shots) since people like kabex are asking :)

You like the demo yes? The demo is good yes? Gamecenter has been updated (Thanks Ray) with word that the playable demo of Deus Ex will be made available this Friday.

Gamecenter is scheduled to premiere the exclusive demo of Deus Ex on Friday, June 16, unless there is an unexpected delay.

Deus Ex is a richly simulated world of unparalleled interactivity, engineered to react logically to your every action. The decisions and consequences are yours. Deus Ex incorporates role-playing, action, adventure, and 1st person shooter genres into a chaotic blend of real world conspiracies, cliffhangers and plot twists.
