I have to mention Ross' Youtube channel Accursed Farms' review [0] [1] [2] of Deus Ex. I would highly recommended watching them: "I came for a game review and left with a better understanding of the economy and politics. Ross you blow my mind" [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]

You never asked for this, but Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex - Human Revolution is a delightful critique of the subject matter (a.k.a. lemon blast mode): [VIDEO]

He's absolutely correct on comparing it to the first game, but he may even be a little too warm towards some aspects of it. I also enjoy this video by Ross of "Freeman's Mind" [0] [0] [VIDEO]

Good old Piss Filter, also popular with games. From 'Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex - Human Revolution' [VIDEO] conclusion - art directors are Lizard People. >The first movie to use digital color manipulation in the way we’d think of it today — i.e., shifting the colors within a film image to meet a digitally achieved palette — is generally considered to be the 2000 Coen brothers’ Great Depression picaresque O Brother, Where Art Thou? and not 1999 green tint Matrix?
