You asked for this: Deus Ex: The Fall came out in 2013, the first game in the Deus Ex franchise for mobile and tablet devices, initially on iOS and then earlier this year for Android – and now I’m pleased to announce that it will also be available on the PC platform via Steam digital download from March 25th.
This new version of Deus Ex: The Fall has been optimized for the PC, with no in-game purchase options, Steam achievements and trading cards, adjusted AI, revised tutorial, full keyboard and mouse control optimisation, gamepad support and a bunch of other tech tweaks.
Deus Ex: The Fall will cost $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99 on Steam, and if you pre-order or buy it for a limited time after launch you’ll also get a free Steam copy of the classic Deus Ex – Game of the Year Edition. To visit the Steam site, click Here.

This week I passed the 3000 follower mark over on Twitter, officially certified by the Geek Institute of Weights and Measures as 6 Milliwheatons, also known as MMM in Roman numerals (which coincidentally is the nice, pleased noise I made when I saw it).
So: I would like to say a big thank you to everybody out there who has supported my work and maintained an interest in the things I write. You guys and girls are a swell bunch, and as a token of my gratitude, I’d like to offer some prizes.
From the time this post goes live until Midnight GMT on Saturday 22nd February, I am running a competition to give away three prizes – winners get to choose from either some Horus Heresy stuff, Star Trek stuff or a mixed bag of science-fiction stuff. Each pack will contain a couple of books and/or audio dramas by me (to be determined), which I will sign and personalise at the winner’s request.
To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is follow me on Twitter and post this message:
“Follow author @jmswallow & RT this link to win signed stuff! http://jamesswallow.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/3000.html #jim3k“
Don’t forget to include the hashtag #jim3k so I can track the entries.
One entry per person, please. Entry is open to all countries. Winners will be decided by random draw next week and contacted by direct message on Twitter.
