Please don't play Max Payne in lieu of Deus Ex. Max Payne was an above average shooter with some cool elements (bullet time), but Deus Ex is one of the greatest games ever made. From everything I've heard that goes for System Shock 2 as well (same developers as Deus Ex), but I can't speak from experience on that one.

QFT. Also want to add that this doesn't apply to Deus Ex 2 - while a decent game, I'm still pissed that they screwed up big time and the game retains almost none of the greatness of the original. I could have designed it better, bastards console-ized it too much. I'd probably pick Max Payne over DX2.
