System Shock 2 Re-released
« on: February 15, 2013, 06:30:08 AM »
Yep. Good Old Games has SS2 now available for download for $10.

As one of the few people on this planet that has never played it (Liz and just about everyone else has told me how awesome it is and how Bioshock while a decent spiritual followup and a great game in its own right still pales by comparison), I quickly snatched it up.

It's $10, which might be a bit high for a game that old, but then again, it's one of those games that I've never heard anything bad about. And Irrational Games, the only company involved in its making that is still around today, had apparently all but vowed that they weren't ever going to release it again.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

I never got, round to playing System Shock 2, but sadly I lack the credit card in order to buy it on GOG...

I hope they put it on Steam one day.

The yellow river seaward flows
You can enjoy a grander sight
By climbing to a greater height

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

On a relates note: steam for linux is officially released and most of the games are on sale. This week.

Has this always been possible or is it recent?
