Go out and buy the Enhanced Edition if you haven’t already. You’ll be playing a great game as well as immersing yourself in a significant piece of gaming history."

- System Shock Remake
It sure is looking great for FPS games this year!
System Shock is a pretty remarkable game. Developed by Looking Glass Studios (or Looking Glass Technologies as they were known at the time of development), it went much farther than most any other real-time first-person game of the early ’90s in presenting a realistic environment, with which one can interact in several different ways. It takes the structure of a standard dungeon-crawler, and reinvents it as a trek for survival through a desolate space station filled with mutants and cyborgs, controlled by a rogue AI with sinister ambitions.
Is a new System Shock game in the works at OtherSide Entertainment? The developer has just put up a teaser for their next project at Othersidetease.com and already fans are speculating that this is either the long-rumoured remake of System Shock or a brand new game in the series...
A modernized System Shock could be amazing. System Shock is a true classic with great story and excellent characters. System Shock 2 was way ahead of its time as was the much lesser known original System Shock.
