    The Greatest Games of All Time: System Shock 2 Thumbnail

    Long before Grand Theft Auto established the video game sandbox, before "emergent gameplay" was an industrywide buzzword, upstart developer Irrational Games married first-person action akin to that of Doom and Half-Life with rich, open-ended character development and a masterfully crafted, horror-tinged storyline to create System Shock 2.

    System Shock 2- One of the best games for the Windows Platform. I'm so glad to be able to play this game, because it really is that good. I'll be placing in some replacement textures for higher-resolutions, with smaller recordings for better quality.
