System Shock 2

Released on May 10, 2013 by Electronic Arts

Developed by Irrational Games, Looking Glass Studios

The cult classic sci-fi horror FPS-RPG has returned.

You awake from the cold chill of your cryo-tube to discover cybernetic implants grafted to your flesh and the crew of the starship Von Braun slaughtered. The infected roam the halls, their screams and moans beckoning you to join them as the rogue artificial intelligence known as SHODAN taunts and ridicules your feeble attempt to unravel the horrifying mystery of the derelict starship Von Braun.

If you head over to GOG and download GOG Galaxy, the new GOG Desktop client they will give you a free copy of the PC classic System Shock 2. If you are interested you will want to check this out now as it won't last for much longer.

GOG is also running their yearly Summer Sale and have some fun quests you can complete to earn free games such as Splunky, Gabriel Knight and Dreamfall Chapters.

So much free and so little time...

Well, I thought it was an eternal joke, much like Duke Nukem Forever never coming out. Proven wrong yet again, GoG.com has announced through Rock Paper Shotgun and a teaser on their website that System Shock 2 will get a full "digital collector's edition" release. This means a full soundtrack, design docs, an Interview with Ken Levine, among other goodies.

Being one of my Top 5 PC games of all times, I really have to advertise this whole deal. System Shock 2 is a bit like Bioshock, but with much more of a PC slant.
