Hey guys,
I just wanted you to help me decide what to play next. I finished playing Deus Ex, which was nothing short of stunning, (except the last level put me off a little because it ran choppy), and the three endings was very original. The "merging with Helios" ending scared the sh!t out of me, and I wish they would have elaborated on the "Dark Age" ending, but the main one, when the Illuminati gets control of the world again is great, I suppose. You can't have it work the way you want, because there has to be order to things, and I got that in the end... (sorry if I sound dumb, but the game was amazing, especially since I followed the story and read every news paper and listened to every conversation in the game). I'm thinking of what Deus Ex was about, the story, and how all the characters fit into it. That's perhaps for another thread in detail. However, I heard somewhere that it has some biblical references, like:
JC Denton: JC stands for Jesus Christ, maybe? Hence 'Deus Ex', 'God From'.
Paul Denton: Paul is one of the apostles, who preached the word of the Lord and all that. In the game, he tells you about the NSF, the conspiracies, and to use non-lethal methods.
Walton Simons: Simon was one of Jesus' brothers; in the game Simons has nano-augs, just like you. But he's evil. And voiced by Tom Hall.
Joseph Manderly: Joseph, another biblical name...
Anyway, after a day to fully digest the experience (which I'll have to play again real soon!), I'm playing Heretic II right now to kill a day (haven't played it in a while, I LOVE the Heretic / Hexen saga), and after that I want to get stuck into something new, something I haven't played before. So I just want to know, via a simple poll, what you think I should play next, and why.
Options are in the poll, vote for what you think would really rule, and I'll get cracking on that next!

It is the scariest game I've ever played, and I've never feared a game more! It is an absolutely amazing game because normally in FPS games, you play as a character in a story, making sure they move through the game and you watch what they do. In System Shock 2, you play as YOU, which makes it MUCH scarier, because you feel that it's your life on the line, not the characters.
