If you could tweak one aspect of the excellent Deus Ex: Human Revolution, what would you change? Would you ditch the annoying boss battles, maybe add an extra hub area or two?

Or would you rather daub the loading screens with adverts for the release of Star Wars on Blu-ray?

If you plumped for the latter you’re in luck, because the game has just been defaced – sorry, augmented – with loading screen banners promoting the Blu-ray release of the Star Wars movies. As you may remember, the films themselves have also been augmented by the meddlesome George Lucas.

Joystiq also reports that some of the in-game billboards are set up to handle ‘real’ advertising. I can’t say that I noticed this myself, but that may be because I was playing the game prior to its release.

I settled on a score of 9 in my Deus Ex: Human Revolution review, but if Adam Jensen’s world is suddenly swamped with ads I may have to augment my opinion.
