Twelve years ago, Ion Storm created the original Deus Ex, combining role-playing elements into a first-person shooter, something that, while done before, had never had such polish. The game won multiple awards and still regarded as one of the greatest PC games of all time. Stepping into the role of a UN agent in a cyberpunk, dystopian future, you unraveled a massive conspiracy threatening the entire world. In 2003, a sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War was released and while generally well-received, it failed to deliver the quality and poise of its namesake and has become a sore spot for fans. Today, 11 years later, Square Enix has tried to revitalize the franchise and bring in a new generation of gamers while catering to the old guard with Deus Ex: Human Revolution - and boy did they succeed. Deus Ex: Human Revolution has managed to deliver one of the most enjoyable games I have played in years.

Total War returns to Japan.
Total War: Shogun 2 is a slow, but entertaining game. You assume the role of a province leader with ambitions of conquering all of feudal Japan. This goal is achieved through two alternating gameplay modes. On a map of Japan you take care of the grandiose strategy that is required to subjugate a country. Human and computer players take turns positioning their armies, negotiating trades, researching technologies, and building additions to cities.
To wrap up the week and put a bow on the fine work of JD, some of the staff have contributed their first encounter with the series and some unique memories of their experiences.
The Metroid series is one like no other. It offers a unique experience that has rarely been replicated in 2D and stands completely alone in 3D. Nearly every entry in the series is extremely highly regarded and for many, games like Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are among the best games ever created. Being such prolific games, the PixlBit staff has decided to provide some memories they have of the games and their first encounter with the series.
