Crysis Warhead vs Deus Ex
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Warhead is somewhat like a spin-off mainly because it doesn't really continue the plotline in the main Crysis franchise. Instead, I'd venture as far to say that this game might be a prequel to the original Crysis... maybe? Anyway, in this game, you play as Sergeant Sykes who find hismelf on a life-risking mission to retrieve a cargo that's incredibly important behind enemy lines during the Korean war. The gameplay in this game is amazing visceral and intuitive, and of course, between the suit's abilities and the wide range of weapons, you'll have multiple methods to take out your enemies and walk away smiling.There are also aliens of course - it's just Crysis being Crysis - but the enemy AI is a whole lot more intelligent and may just catch you off guard if you're not careful.
As great as Crysis Warhead is, the game can be a tad bit short for its full price. However, if you can get it during a promotion, the game will be very well worth the experience, the time and the price.
Deus Ex
Deus Ex is the first game in the Deus Ex game series which has risen to fame and had gained a massive somewhat-cult following due to its second sequel. The game is incredibly old-school and hence, its graphics may put a lot of players off, but the game offers an immersively detailed storyline that is set in a rather chaotic year of 2052. You even get to play as a super-cool cyborg who has many amazing augments, skills and weapons at his disposal. The game is not all shoot and kill though. It also has many ways for you to avoid bloody confrontation, which frankly will definitely delight players who enjoy having alternative approaches to an encounter.Unlike many other games that adds in fantastical elements to enhance its gameplay, Deus Ex is a game that emphasize on the possible problems and issues that a futuristic human world may experience. It deals in conspiracy and the human nature rather than fantasy and that's what made the game incredibly unique back in the day (and this statement is also relevant until today).
