I'm not building up unreal too much (I believe I referred some people to the Gamespot review). Despite the problems, it still should be a great multi experience, I liked Tribes on the PC, it was very strange and not at all perfect but most importantly it was damn good fun regardless.

The pain is it's out at the same time as SC2 which'll mean one'll have to wait on my shelf for a bit.

Deus EX 2 was designed with the Xbox in mind at all times however due to the fact they were developing it side by side with the PC version it does look shoddy as neither platform was used to its fulles**t extent. I thought the demo was quite sh*t actually and it was completely dumbed down for the console market. I will s**till get it purely because the original was so bloody superb however I am not expecting great things from it.

Also Hedfix, I wouldn't build Unreal 2 up too much because you will be disappointed, its not as good as Halo and to be hones**t it isn't all that online either. Luckily the PC version I picked up for free :)

If in doubt check out Gamespot's review it certainly doesn't skate over the flaws in the game.

and there are numerous flaws, including he originals AI.

However, for those who enjoyed the first one this sounds like a must buy.

I remember the flaws of the original and they are part of what gives the game real character.

For some reason I just didn't like the OXM Deus Ex 2 demo.

Kinda shoddy graphics, and the gun fights were terrible...

Wave Race is probably the worst Cube game I own.

Anyhoo, I want Deus Ex. Normally I'm not too bothered about FPS' (which is why I'll probably miss out on Halo 2, Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, unless they get outstanding reviews), but this looks so very, very good.

Too bad my money needs to go elsewhere. My money that I don't yet have.

Muh.

Yeah, same here. Except I've been addicted to Everything or Nothing.

Wave Race (just like all of Nintendo's multiplayer games) was simply crying out for online play. Carve WILL rock.

Yeah fair enough WR in single player wasn't great, the multiplayer was good though, imagine that online...
