The people over at gamespot have created a retrospective on System Shock 2. Nothing extremely interesting apart from the last paragraph on the last page.
But why even look back at System Shock 2 at this point? Because Irrational has been, and it plans to make a related announcement this Friday (tomorrow). The studio has decided that it wishes to further what it started in System Shock 2--to work on games that promote "emergent" gameplay--open-ended exploration that offers many choices and combinations of options to players. You'll see what we mean tomorrow. Be sure to come back then.'

A sequel?

God I hope so!

Not System Shock 3, but close...

Shamelessly ripped from SShock2.com:


Well, it's not System Shock 3... but it could be its 'spiritual successor'.

Gamespot has announced Irrational newest project, BioShock.

Although not a sequel of any of the Shock games, it will be a survival horror game, with RPG elements, so the genre will certainly be welcomed by shockers. In the words of Ken Levine, "I guarantee: fans who like System Shock 2 will like BioShock".

Thoughts & comments? I haven't played SS2, but from what I hear it's a game that I should probably pick up
