Today's UK releases

There's only one new release for PC gamers in the UK this week, but what a game it is - Ion Storm Austin's magnificent Unreal-engined first person role-playing / shooter hybrid "Deus Ex"! Set in a desolate near-future world of rampant terrorism, shadowy conspiracies and nano-tech implants, this could well be the game which turns things around for ailing publisher Eidos, as well as being the first good game to come out of the overhyped and overbudget Texan developer Ion Storm since its founding four years ago.

Due for release next Friday are the athletics sim "Sergei Bubka's Millenium Games" from Midas, role-playing game "Arcatera" from UbiSoft, and THQ's "X-Tension", a massive mission pack for last year's space trading and combat game, "X : Beyond The Frontier". For a comprehensive list of UK release dates for the next year, check EuroGamer's UK release date list, now tracking well over a hundred games.
