Deus Ex for PC (it's on a couple consoles too, but get the PC version)

lol, Shadow of Destiny(Shadow of Memories in Europe) is a complete Shenmue clone, it copies practically everything in Shenmue, the only difference is that Shenmue is like, a billion times better.
*typical Shadow of Destiny game progression*
After cutscene main character asks around for clues for his quest, checks a log, a time system that's almost identical to Shenmue's and then after walking the streets of some boring town, he comes across this fortune teller who not only looks but sounds exactly like Lapis, even the camera angles in that cutscene are alike.
God, they copied everything... you'll see what I mean if you play it. But I recommend you not bother cos that game is so boring and tedious and not worth a minute of your time.
*Runs back to Dreamcast*
Well, if you're thinking of me, JF, because of that thread I started on the Sony forum, that was highly misunderstood. All I meant was that Ico was one of the few games which animated every second of movement - in fact the motion animation was actually better than Shenmue's, but didn't have the fantastic on-the-fly cinematic camera. And of course it's just a puzzle game with some fighting. There's no immersion - in fact I've only got about a third of the way through and gone on to other, more engaging games (Silent Hill 2 & 3 if you must know).JAPANFAN wrote:Some people'll say Ico, but eh, I don't really see it...
