Welcome back for another trip down memory lane, as Kyle continues his voyage through the Von Braun in System Shock 2.
Meet crazy psychic monkeys, psychotic robots and more besides as we revisit a modern gaming classic – regarded by many as one of the greatest games ever made.
If you never played Looking Glass Studios’ RPG-horror classic, you can download it on Steam or GOG.com (you should by the way, it’s ruddy brilliant).
If you have any thoughts to share, or there’s a particular game you’d like us to look at in future, let us know in the comments. Enjoy!
The best sci-fi games ever made range from diving into the depths of humanity to finding hope among the stars.
Don't really agree on Dead Space being number one. But usually come down to preference. Alot of good games on the list. I was hoping to see Aliens vs Predator by Sierra on the list, as it was a great game. Anyways for me the number one is still Halo but Mass Effect was really good up to the infamous ending of the third game.
I would put Flashback on my list. Its got such a great tone and background design. The cutscenes were pretty good too.
DEAD SPACE 2 as number 1? Really? I've only ever played DEAD SPACE 1 (without finishing it) and, sure enough I liked it a lot, and have been yearning for getting to grips with an hd remastered trilogy for the PS4/XBox One/PS5/XBox Series X/S, but what about Deus Ex Human Revolution & Mankind Divided? Alienation (to quench our thirst for twitching fingers' top-down dual-stick shooters)? Or even Cyberpunk 2077 (once the game has been re-released and all the kinks have been ironed out)?
If not at the #1 spot, it seems to me these games deserved to be on the list somewhere.
But what really strikes me as unfair is, if you're going back to the PS3/XBox 360 era with DS2, how could you forget to mention Killzone 2 & 3? The Resistance games? When it comes to Sci-Fi FPS, it's inadequate not to pay your respects to those stellar franchises! Heck, even the Crysis trilogy should've been there IMHO.
Looking for some frightening games to play over Halloween? Well, we rounded up five of our favorites here.
House if the Dead 3 + HotD Overkill + PS3 & PS Move =😎
Not "frightening" but fun.
RE7 VR. I'm getting impatient for the RE8 VR reveal!
I also wish they'd hurry up and officially announce/patch Alien Isolation for VR.
Honestly, nothing was better designed for sheer psychological horror than the PT demo.
I really hope I can transfer it to PS5.
Fatal Frame! If anyone ever gets the chance, there was a remake of II on the Wii. I suggest a modded Wii/U, or emulator. That, and Fatal Frame 4, are two of the scariest games ever made, hands down. Like "F this, why am I even playing this" scary.
Unlike horror films, horror video games have had a good run in the last couple of decades. With that said, here's our list of the best horror games.
