Constantly taunted and hunted by the AI SHODAN, the player must counter SHODAN's attempts to destroy human life on Earth.

System Shock went on to receive critical acclaim and garnered awards in the adventure genre, despite its mediocre commercial performance. The game's legacy influences game development to this day.

Agent of chaos is still in development, but will be entering the beta testing state by Christmas. So feel free to stop by and share your thoughts. Please forgive the programmers art :]

]]> 29 Nov 2006 11:40:58 A dark and moody cyberpunk RPG that brings back to life SHODAN one of the best realized arch-nemesis in computer gaming.

This time around it is a ship - not a station that has been taken over.

Story telling elements such as voice mail as 'ghost' residue are used to great effect. You can see similar mechanisms being used in F.E.A.R and others.

Uses a modified Thief engine so there is a significant focus on 'sneak'- although the game can be player through in multiple ways.

Hunter is to repair the network of a mining complex but fails and ends up in an underground cave world after an explosion. A man called Toadstool finds him and tells F where they are: In an underground world where a computer freak called Hacker has seized power. Left alone by the Corporation, Hunter has to find a way back to the surface all by himself. On his quest he meets Kathryn, a mysterious woman, who sometimes helps the player. Hunter faces many dangers and problems; for instance, when he is confronted by sinister figures in an underground prison colony. Of course we cannot give away whether he finds the suspected lift to the surface there :-)

]]> 08 Dec 2006 03:30:04 Fifteen years following the events depicted in the multi-award winning Deus Ex, the world is just beginning to recover from catastrophic depression.

As an elite anti-terrorist agent, you must fight numerous militant factions bent on violently reshaping the world to suit their own agendas. Using high-tech gadgetry and futuristic body modification (or biomods), you are granted near superhuman powers.

Travel the globe while uncovering fiendish plots of world domination. Unmask the conspirators, while uncovering the shocking truth behind your own origins.

It features a unique shader-driven art style and a streamlined play interface that will seem familiar to enthusiasts of Robotron and Tri-Stat-based game players.

]]> 20 Dec 2006 11:54:52 Shadowrun on the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive is a different beast than it's SNES counterpart.
Faithful to FASA's pen and paper version, this game will have you exploring an extensive map in bird-eye view taking missions ("runs") from "Mr Johnsons" and build up your stats. Your party can consist of 3 elements tops, and there are 3 types of characters you can play - samurai, shaman or decker. All in all, the game's open-endedness along with the plot to uncover your brothers' death circumstances make this a game with something for every CRPG fan. Two thumbs way, way up!
