All of us have that list of games we've heard are really good and haven't gotten around to actually playing yet. System Shock 2 was on my list for a long time and I am really glad I took the time to experience such an influential masterpiece of a game. Now, take my review with a grain of salt since I played with some minor graphical overhaul mods. But even with worse texture quality, this game has one of the best atmospheres I've experienced. The Von Braun really feels like a ship where people lived their day to day lives ... which makes the horror aspects that much more imposing. If you are on the fence about buying this game, I promise you won't regret it. Besides, on sale this game is ULTRA cheap. Just do it.
