In order to prevent the scattering of links to reviews of Deus Ex: Invisible War, I'm putting them all in this thread.
This thread is stuck to the top of the forum, it does not need to be bumped.
If you find a review not listed here, please add it. Do not comment on the review, the reviewer, or make any other contribution except the URL and the name of the reviewing site.
I don't know how we should deal with the reviewing of reviews, but I do know we don't need the amount of duplication and scattered link-posting we've been experiencing, as it makes it difficult for anyone to find a review or to know if the review they want to link to has already been seen.

I find it funny that people, even game journos, have started using the term "consolitis", which is a term that I coined recently on the IS forums. Not that I mind or anything ;).

How about tagging the score that the reviewer gave to the game right after the URL links? That would be helpful. Thanks.

Not really a link, but our own Brem X Jones has reviewed IW in the current UK edition of PC Gamer, a full 2 months before release in this jurisdiction.

PC Format has given DX:IW a score of 88%
A random selection of comments from the review:
"Far superior, in terms of narrative and intelligence, to almost anything from the last year or so... compelling plot... very atmospheric"
"The failure to match the standard of its groundbreaking predecessor, and the ruthless removal of creative depth in favour of shallow commercialism, makes it the biggest disappointment in the history of PC Gaming"
"Although it offers a degree of choice and narrative that nothing outside KOTOR has offered PC gamers in at least the the last year, that doesn't stop it feeling like a slap in the face to the people who, in buying and loving the original Deus Ex, made this game possible in the first place"
"This game sets out to be half a dozen things but fails to do any of them very well.. [it is] brief, ugly and limited with bad acting and AI"
"It's like asking for a kitten for Christmas and only being given its severed head... the equivalent of The Velvet Underground appearing on Pop Idol"
"DX:IW's only merits are those that were already in Deus Ex, a game from 2000"
