Maximalism of Control

Games which afford players vast control over minutiae, be it through mechanical or physical means. Think Receiver 2 giving the player control of every part of their firearm, or Metal Gear Solid 2 using the entirety of the DualShock 2's feature set.

Deus Ex maybe because that game has a shitload of buttons to sort through when I tried to play it, at least as many as system shock.

Great list btw.
