TOM CLANCY'S SPLINTER CELL CONVICTION? Yes. Though Conviction undoubtedly had a great co-op mode to play offline or online, its main single-player campaign was pretty lacklustre, and Deus Ex's game world offers far more hidden incentives to explore and learn about. Go to Conviction if you want a tight, spy thriller, but go to Human Revolution for a rich science-fiction epic.
MASS EFFECT 2? Sadly for Human Revolution, this one's hardly a competiton at all: Mass Effect 2 was the pinnacle of sci-fi storytelling, tight RPG shooting mechanics, intelligent AI and above all a real sense of consequence in the choices you made regarding your team and the storyline. A firm no on that one, then.
PORTAL 2? Even though the genres of this and Deus Ex are completely seperated bar the sci-fi theme, it's still no competition: Portal 2 remains the best video game I've played this year so far, and even the big titles like Batman: Arkham City, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Battlefield 3 and Halo: Anniversary are going to have to do a lot to top the fun I had with Wheatley, GLADOS and Chell in Aperture Labs in the cold days of Spring. If, however, Human Revolution were to fix its AI problems and add a little more depth to its world and characters, it might then stand a better chance of matching Valve's stellar puzzle shooter.
