But what if you, dear reader, wanted to star in your own videogame?
Lets have a look…
Your best bet is going to be robotic limbs.
Or perhaps youd rather use your metal arms to crush and destroy, like Jax fromMortal Kombat?
Whatever you choose, youre going to look one impressive sight.
Speed
Youre going to have to be quick to become a videogame hero.
There are a number of options open to you in this department, from the chemical to the sartorial.
If you want to join the pack, youre going to need to keep up.
To that end, stealing some agility orbs from the Agency inCrackdownis going to be a good idea.

Game heroes can see everything.

And he lives in the past, sort of, so imagine what you could achieve in the future.

The way videogames get around this is by letting someone else do the thinking for you.
Making a quip at an opportune moment separates the wheaty classic heroes from the long forgotten chaff.
Its all fun and games until someone ends up a fractured corpse at the bottom of a cliff.
Still, at least youll get to have another go.
Deus Ex: Human Revolutionis out today on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
