I think it's a toss-up betwixt Thief: The Metal Age and System Shock 2 for this category.

RIP, Looking Glass. Ion Storm can't hold a candle to you.

You obviously never gassed your enemies and then threw darts at their heads.
Or carried around a crate of TNT to throw at your enemies (and then try to run away from the explosion before it took out both of your legs as well).

Darts are loads of fun.........dart everyone and see if you can dodge until they die.

While good choices, Thief is only an action game if you stuff up when playing it.

Back on topic, just finished round one of MP2 and having a blast.

I did not like the part where you have to escape from the burning building, but other than that, wow, better than the first so far.

Maybe it was because I was 2 shots away from dying for the longest time until I finally found some painkillers (Thought I was going to have to restart). Still love the bullet time. Also like the secondary weapon. It is nice to be able to toss a grenade and go back to my twin uzis without batting an eye.

I did finish MP1 BTW. I plyed SysS2 and DE for quite a while, but was unable to finish. I ran out of ammo in both games and could not get past where I was at, the baddies were just too tough. Also tried thief, but I'm really not into the sneaking games (hated those parts of DE and SS2).

Just recently finished NOLF and did not the sneaking in that game either. NOLF2 is on the shelf just waiting, waiting....

Classic comment from the Cowgirl yesterday while I was playing MP2, "Honey, you can finish saving the world tomorrow, it is time to come downstairs."

BTW, my new system rox. Love the logitech 640 speakers. Occasionally in the game, you'll knock on a locked door and dogs will bark. This made my dogs start barking.

Well Bullet Time is now too powerfull altough so cool.
Run out of ammunition in SS2 and DE?
You are playing it tha action way
Well in SS2 all minor enemies have to be put down by wrench.
But even I ask how did you run out of ammunition in DE?
And sneaking parts are not required every part has more solutions.
Wait for C2 of MP2 it is the most fun

I see I didn't make it all clear about what I wanted to say. Here's the short version:

MP1: Very boring... I hate the bullet-time
SS2: (As in Serious Sam 2) I really like
Deux Ex: Never kept me interested enough for me to finish first mission...

What!
You found DE boring!
Begone to Abyss!


Serious Sam? I thought on serious player ( ) liked that ***** we made.

I fall into the action type yes, but seems like I get stuck in those, grab cover and trade shots at the AI who is also good at grabbing cover. Plus early on, I killed everything, later finding out that this was a waste of ammo. I remember quiting in the rocket silo after being downed by an augumented dude.

In SS2, I got to lv6, but could only manage to sneak around with some special power I had that made me invisible. Could not figure out how to get past all the baddies to see what was next. I was basically out of ammo at that time and none to be found. Tried a couple of reloads snooping while invisible, but could not figure it out.

Which brings me to another point. NOLF and MP1 were the perfect length for me. DE, SS2, and even Half-Life were too long for me to finish. Serious boredom started to set in and there are always more game to play than I have time. Case in point: Bought them, but still waiting to be played: NOLF2, Diablo2, Call of Duty, Capitalism 2, I'm not at home to look at the rest.

Rocket silo? That`s near the end of game!

I figured that I was close, it is still installed and saved, maybe I see if I can stomach the final.

I do not mind MP2 being short, too many other games to play, and no time. I'm sure that I've seen all that it can do by the end and will be iching to move on, not begging for more.

There are three endings of DE and they are quite interesting.
