Deus Ex Clan Wars Morphs Into Snowblind

Thanks to Edge Magazine for confirmation, in its July issue, that the Eidos console FPS Snowblind, shown at E3, "was originally designed to be a spin-off from [Deus Ex], but has since gone its own way." The IGN PS2 product page for Snowblind also backs up this little-reported fact, following previous Slashdot Games news discussing the cyberpunk-influenced PS2/Xbox title, then called Deus Ex: Clan Wars. Additionally, the IGN PS2 E3 preview mentions "Crystal Dynamics looked to Warren Spector and Ion Storm for inspiration and advice on this game", further confirming info on the "Winter 2004"-due title whose E3-dated preview at 1UP explains: "The city environment was dark, neon-lit and vaguely Deus Ex-like, but the feel of the action was closer to something like Call of Duty."

Is it just me or was the description for this article particularly hard to read? I had to read it 3 or 4 times before I actually got it. And while I'm ranting, do we really need 7 or 8 links per description? This seems a little excessive. There's a lot to be said for clear and concise writing and well thought out summaries that only include necessary information. The details belong in the article.
