System Shock

A fantastic immersive sim

Nightdive Studios have done an excellent job of remaking System Shock. I've only ever gotten halfway through the original game, but what changes Nightdive have done are better ones in my opinion. In cyberspace you can now move in 6 directions (yes, you can now move backwards!). The graphics are beautiful, using 'unfiltered' textures to give a retro feel, yet are still crisp. Terri Brosius returns as the voice actress for SHODAN and does a marvellous job. My only misgivings are the final battle which is quite a chore, and the real lack of inventory space (and storage space!). In similar games (e.g. Resident Evil), you are limited by inventory but you have a large storage space, and in the original System Shock I don't remember having an inventory limit (or perhaps I just never reached it). If you like the genre, or enjoyed the original, I _highly_ recommend picking this game up, it really is brilliant, and now that Atari have bought Nightdive Studios, I doubt they'll make another game nearly as good.
