The Spoony Experiment

Horror Game Classics – System Shock

by Spoony on October 29, 2009 · View Comments

“In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that raze the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.”

Edit: Oops, don’t know how the game intro got posted twice in a row. I’ll fix it later.

I have dead space for PS3, about half way through it, but stopped playing it about 6 months ago and havent picked it back up since. Will do eventually though as i was really enjoying it. Will probably just start again as i cant remember any of the story really, but i thought it was really good, I especially liked the way health is displayed and the way messages appear on screen

As a non-gamer, the first thing I thought when he said logs was big chunks of wood. I was confused about how one would listen to one.

Um… yeah. Resident Evil isn't scary. It's more of a here's-a-gun-go-pwn-that-zombie-over-there kind of thing. Don't get me wrong, Resident Evil is a really good game, it's just not the scary, freakish, let's-mess-with-your-sanity kind of game that Spoony is referring to.

Wow, Spoony still hasn't fixed this video?

Correction: Resident Evils 4 and 5 aren't scary. In the 1990s, the first three RE games and Code: Veronica were scary as crap. And after that, RE0 and the remake for GameCube filled the slot. Then RE4 came along and ruined the series.

Wow, I feel kind of disappointed I never got to play these games before Bioshock. Bioshock definitely took a lot of ideas from System Shock.

Bioshock and System Shock were made by the same man. :

So many, perhaps to many good games i could never play. This game looks awesome, i love Shodan, awesome villian.
Any chance they'd do a remake for current consoles?
That would be awesome, sounds better than Bioshock, and i like Bioshock.

Just found an original copy of System Shock in our attic. My dad reminded me we used to play it together all the time when I was a kid. Gonna try to fire this baby up real soon!
