Hello, I'm new to this forum.

I'd like to know how to pronounce the name of this game because want to go to the mall and pre-order it today.

Thanks.

I hope by 'doosss' you mean 'Day-S'..

Here it is from the inside cover of the Deus Ex CD case (the cardboard/paper one):

Pronunciation: Day-S-Eks Ma-she-Na
Function: Noun
Etymology: New Latin, a god from a machine, translation of Greek Theos ek mEchanEs
Date of Origin: 1967

1. A god introduced by means of a crane in ancient Greek and Roman drama to decide the final outcome.

2. A person or thing (as in fiction or drama) that appears or is introduced suddenly and unexpectedly and provides a solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty.

There you have :P

Day-S Eks

Not 'Deuce Eks'
