The year is 2052 and the world is in chaos. Terrorism is a daily occurrence in the world: a world where drugs, disease, and pollution roam freely. The economy has collapsed, there is no middle class, and the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Now a global conspiracy is in place, where an organization wanting global domination has emerged from the shadows. Now you must find your true destiny in this world, whether it is for the best or worst.
'''Deus Ex''' is a cyberpunk-themed [[action]] [[role-playing game]] developed by [[Ion Storm]] and published by [[Eidos Interactive]] in the year [[2000]], which combines gameplay elements of [[first-person shooter]]s with those of role playing games. The game received almost worldwide critical and industry acclaim, including being named "Best PC Game of All Time" in a [[2007]] poll carried out by British gaming magazine PC Zone. It was a frequent candidate for and winner of "Game of the Year" awards, drawing praise for its pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths. It has sold more than 1 million copies, as of April 23, [[2009]].


Released on [[June 22]], [[2000]] and developed by [[Ion Storm]], Deus Ex is a combination of a [[first-person shooter]] and a [[RPG|role-playing]] game. It allows you to completely customize your character however you want with biochemical augmentations and skill training (an example of an augmentation is one that makes you run at twice your speed, while an example of a skill is learning how to become a master with a sniper rifle). The possibilities are endless, and as you perfect your character, you must also deal with an epic storyline that spans the globe and has a new twist at every turn. The game is well-known for its stylish non-linear gameplay, deep storyline, detailed characters, role-playing elements, and dystopian future setting.
The title is ancient Latin for "God from...", a clearly incomplete sentence. The Latin words are pronounced ''"DAE-ous EX"'', but the game authors and many fans generally pronounce it "DAY-uss EX".

A sequel to Deus Ex, titled [[Deus Ex: Invisible War]], was released on December 2, [[2003]] for both [[Windows]] and the [[Xbox]] video game console. On November 26, [[2007]], it was confirmed that [[Eidos Montreal]] is developing a prequel, [[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]].
 
Set in a dystopian world during the 2050s, the central plot follows J. C. Denton, a rookie United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition agent, as he sets out to combat terrorist forces, which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever further into chaos. As the plot unfolds, Denton becomes entangled in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering fictional recreations of organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and the Hong Kong Triads throughout his journey.

Deus Ex is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing game developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive in the year 2000, which combines gameplay elements of first-person shooters with those of role playing games. The game received almost worldwide critical and industry acclaim, including being named "Best PC Game of All Time" in a 2007 poll carried out by British gaming magazine PC Zone. It was a frequent candidate for and winner of "Game of the Year" awards, drawing praise for its pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths. It has sold more than 1 million copies, as of April 23, 2009.

The title is ancient Latin for "God from...", a clearly incomplete sentence. The Latin words are pronounced "DAE-ous EX", but the game authors and many fans generally pronounce it "DAY-uss EX".

First published for personal computers running Windows, Deus Ex was later ported to Macintosh systems, as well the PlayStation 2 game console, the latter under the title Deus Ex: The Conspiracy. Loki Games worked on a Linux version of the game, but the company went out of business before releasing it. A sequel to Deus Ex, titled Deus Ex: Invisible War, was released on December 2, 2003 for both Windows and the Xbox video game console. On November 26, 2007, it was confirmed that Eidos Montreal is developing a prequel, Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Set in a dystopian world during the 2050s, the central plot follows J. C. Denton, a rookie United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition agent, as he sets out to combat terrorist forces, which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever further into chaos. As the plot unfolds, Denton becomes entangled in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering fictional recreations of organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and the Hong Kong Triads throughout his journey.
