Permit me a geek moment here - my all time favourite video game System Shock is to recieve a sequel. Regrettably the risible Electronic Arts (EA for short) are behind it so I can look forward to a reasonably complex and strategic game of computer hacking, shooting and puzzle solving being stripped down for the nu-metal Xbox loving generation and turned into a derivative on the rails shoot-em up (possible with cyber-goth overtones and a guitar trash soundtrack). Cos we wouldn't want to confuse the youngsters with something that would actually require any skill to play would we?
