A vent. Spacious, breezy, and filled with giant grates through which to look. A flash of movement? Who's in there. It's Tom Senior, crawling into Square Enix's heavily guarded office. Throwing a flashbang to stun a patrol of accountants – he jumped out and over a stairwell, landing smoothly on the floor below in a glorious flash of yellow light. Through a door was his target: a playable build of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Tom's report can be found as the cover feature of this month's PC Gamer.
