Stumble This
The game was an excellent blend of RPG and FPS, I loved the side stories that you would hear recorded on the strewn audio PDAs: of the couple moving through the ship ahead of you, (and whom you'd eventually almost meet); the slow degredation and corruption of the various crew; the chilling last moments of crew members fighting back a mutant attack. By only hearing what was happening, your imagination ran wild.
Also the soundtrack, the psychic echoes of the people recently killed and the small touches like cold helpful tone of those relentless androids... If a game was to be defined as a work of art, this one was certainly in the list.

I must say BioShock failed to impress me entirely even though it attempted to follow in System Shocks footsteps, I guess it just wasn't nearly cerebral and more geared to the Xbox market.
Though this clip doesn't really provide the context as to why it was such a shock (sorry ), it's a pretty massive spoiler. Is there some way you could mark it for those who've yet to play SS2?
Well the game is nine years old now, so I figured anyone who is going to play it already has. I posted this more as a nostalgia sift rather than anything revelatory.
It's not as if I've posted a 'Would you kindly..' clip, but I've said too much
Playing in darkness with head phones is some of the best fun I've had with my pc. Including pron. Seriously.
Can someone please explain GlaDos? Gladys?
If anyone hasn't played this, you can still play this with enhanced graphics.
Use SHTUP to upgrade the textures, and SS2 rebirth for the models. I've recently re-played this game with those upgrades, and it looks great.

You may still be able to pick SS2 from video game stores bargain bins, or... Other sources.
