System Shock 2
A dark and moody cyberpunk RPG that brings back to life SHODAN one of the best realized arch-nemesis in computer gaming.
This time around it is a ship - not a station that has been taken over.
Story telling elements such as voice mail as 'ghost' residue are used to great effect. You can see similar mechanisms being used in F.E.A.R and others.
Uses a modified Thief engine so there is a significant focus on 'sneak'- although the game can be player through in multiple ways.

Bottom Line: Play it! This was quite possibly the greatest fps I've ever played, with the possible exception of the first one, and the whole experience was made better by the addition of SHODAN, the chaotic, often violent AI
Learning Curve: Takes a second
