Deus Ex: 25 Years Later | A Cyberpunk Oasis After the Y2K Panic
In this video, we dive into the cyberpunk classic, Deus Ex (2000), a game that may never have made it to players had the fears of the Y2K crisis been true. Released just as the world feared a technological collapse, Deus Ex pushed the boundaries of gaming with its deep narrative, player choice, and immersive world-building. Deus Ex explores the dark side of unchecked corporate greed, government control, and the erosion of personal freedom. Explore how this genre-defining title combined action, RPG elements, and conspiratorial storytelling to create one of the most influential games of all time. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the game, join us as we revisit Deus Ex's timeless impact on the gaming world and its chilling portrayal of a corporate-run dystopia.

In 2003, while George W. Bush was preparing to set the world stage ablaze in Iraq, I was a six-year-old captivated by an underrated gem: Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. This action-packed adventure quickly became a standout in my gaming memories. But how does it stack up against Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? That’s a question we’ll tackle another time.

    "I'm undercover for the Chinese government" I really wonder which China she's talking about, given that it's 1934 and the Chinese Civil War is still going on. I would assume the Nationalists but then she wouldn't be against the Nazis would she? So I guess logically she must work for Mao and his communists.

    Honestly this game’s combat was absolutely wild. I remember beating the hell out of the mercenaries in the jungle and Prague with it’s gorgeous atmosphere only for the Chinese mobsters to absolutely decimate me with their Kung Fu a couple missions later. Indy having an Asian QT gf is just the cherry on top of this delicious retro sundae.

    I feel like almost no one, especially Indy fans, rarely ever mention Emperor's Tomb when discussing Indiana Jones games. To me, it is PEAK Indiana Jones gaming (have yet to play Great Circle, but it looks solid). Infernal Machine was the first Indy game I ever owned (Santa Clause sadly did NOT respond to my letter I wrote him back in xmas of 1994 for a copy of Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures on SNES, as well as an SNES console!) and it nailed everything that was expected at that time for a 3D Indy videogame. But then Emperor's Tomb came about and pretty much amplified everything ten-fold. Was it perfect? No, there were definitely bugs/glitches. But if you were someone who played Infernal Machine religiously like I did, you CAN'T tell me your jaw didn't drop when you saw what the whip mechanics were like in Emperor's Tomb. The time spent in IM digging your whip out of the inventory, lining up Indy to properly face the beam you needed to whip, and sitting through the damn whip swinging animation with the Indy theme jingle (or climbing up the whip), only for ET to come along and streamline that entire process into a single fluid action (I'm sure many of you are having nightmare flashbacks to the mine drilling car chase sequence in ET lol).

    To be honest I did not overlook this game as a kid. Played it a lot and loved it. Got Stuck on the kraken level and did not know how to beat it and those damn jelly fish that pull you closer to the kraken... But as soon as I found out you need to shot the eyes and finally beat it it was amazing. Never felt quite like that in gaming again to be honest. However a game which I think is overlooked is Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (on PC in my case). That game I played even more. The controls however are not modern and take some getting use to now. Also it can take a little bit of effort to get to work. There are however fixes for that out there. It did however make an impact on me in gaming.

I thought it was right up there with Halo and Spiderman.
