Last Seen: System Shock 2 - PC (1999)
With the tremendous popularity of BioShock (the "spiritual successor" to the System Shock games) it only seems natural to give some serious thought to rebooting the sci-fi horror series that started it all. In the System Shock games, which combine both FPS and RPG gameplay elements, you run around a space station crawling with murderous infected crew members called "The Many," that's reminiscent of the film Event Horizon (which came out after System Shock). Though System Shock and SS2's graphics are dated, the game's still fun to play.
Where'd It Go: From what we understand, what little work was done on bringing a third System Shock game to life was absorbed into the creation of BioShock. Many fans of the series would kill for a chance to play a new System Shock, but so far there aren't any plans to bring it back this abandoned franchise.
