When Composers & Fans Meet — Deus Ex ReMix

djpretzel writes "OverClocked ReMix has just posted its first collaboration between a game composer and a fan/remixer — Alexander Brandon (Unreal, Deus Ex, Tyrian) teamed up with artist/judge Big Giant Circles (Jimmy Hinson) for a ReMix of 'The Synapse (Hong Kong Streets)' from Deus Ex. The mix is freely available, alongside an interview with Brandon that covers his long history in VGM, from the tracker/demoscene up to his latest work on Dust: An Elysian Tail."

Re:Original Game: Overrated

Overrated? If anything it was underrated. It never got that much press and only one low-budget sequel. The only reason you could call it overrated now is because it's become a cult classic of sorts. And sure, the graphics look dated now, but it's still one of the most cohesive open-ended stories I've ever played. The gameplay is an acquired taste, but is very deep and satisfying if you can get into it.
