Deus-Ex is a stylised futuristic Cyberpunk video game series that explores the themes of human enhancement through the use of artificial organs and nanotechnology and cyber security. Set in a world where multiple real life conspiracy theory organisations– such as the Illuminati, Majestic 12 and the Knights Templar – are entangled in a war for control of the world.

Although each game in the series has featured its own unique plot, the original game story was without doubt the most compelling, in which JC Denton – an anti-terrorist agent with nano-augmented abilities – is thrust into a secret a conflict where the lines of who is right and who is wrong are not clear, making it difficult to decide where to pledge one's allegiance.

As well as having a great premise, the Blade Runner inspired cyberpunk visuals in the game, that span across multiple locations such as Detroit, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Prague are absolutely stunning and seeing a fully realised live action rendition would be a real treat for the eyes.
