System Shock™ 2

The starship Von Braun took a giant leap for mankind as it made its first interstellar journey. Three character profiles to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses: the psionic power-wielding agent, the naval officer--a masterful hacker, and the marine, a combat specialist. TriOptimum wishes you a safe journey aboard the Von Braun, the first craft in the history of mankind capable of faster-than-light travel. The state-of-the-art spaceship becomes a deathtrap, and the only hope you have is the contemptuous whisper of a voice guiding you through the dark corridors, leading you towards the ominous secrets that lurk in the shadows. System Shock™ 2 arguably offers the most intense storytelling in the history of computer games. The second--and best!--game in the series stands all on its own as a masterpiece of gaming history. The mission was going as planned until a lone distress call from the Tau Ceti V sector was picked up. It perfectly splices Sci-Fi with survival horror, FPS gameplay with character stats, upgrades, and inventory system of the role-playing genre, fast paced action with chilling terror. They didn't realize something crucial, though: they brought something back with them when they returned. As you slowly and carefully explore your surroundings, the game begins to swallow you whole, and soon enough you feel completely immersed in the terrifying reality of an interstellar ghost-ship. An away team was sent on a rescue mission, but once it arrived at its destination, there was no sign of any humans and the source of the signal remained unclear.
