Released in 1999, the sequel to the original System Shock is now available on Steam. Thought-provoking and emotionally driven, System Shock 2 is another classic sci-fi/horror RPG from the mind of Ken Levine and co-developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios.

In this sequel, which received a multitude of Game of the Year awards, you play a soldier on a space station in the year 2114. You are implanted with a cybernetic interface and must fight through the remaining crewmen, infected by strange eggs found in an old ejection pod.

Virus-infected monsters abound!

SHODAN, from the original, reappears in System Shock 2, and it is once again, your duty to end its control of the ship and remove the source of the infection using an artillery of weapons and upgradeable abilities.

The graphics are decidedly higher-quality in comparison to the original. It is easier to navigate the three-dimensional field and fight off enemies. This only makes it all the more frightening.

From Klei Entertainment, the makers of Mark of the Ninja, comes the 2015 cyberpunk spy game, Invisible, Inc.

Winner of the 2015 Best Video Game at the Geekie Awards, Invisible, Inc. is a game that centers on espionage and stealth.

How will you customize your character?

There are five different game modes with many customization options and each game is randomly generated. Worlds, enemies, and loot all change each time you play so you will never play the same game twice.

It’s a break-in!

You can play Invisible, Inc. over and over without getting bored. With infinite possibilities and different ways that you can complete objectives, it’s almost addictive.

16) Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death

You play Judge Dredd from the 2000 AD comic series, based in Mega City One, the third decade of the 22nd century. In a world where everyone is bored, there’s nothing left to do but cause chaos and Judge Dredd is there to enforce the law and judge wrong-doers for their actions.

Dredd vs. Death, released in 2003 is an extremely comical satire where Dredd must stop villains of all kinds, from evil scientists, criminals, and even vampires and zombies. Dredd is the most feared judge of them all and the player can choose how he deals with criminals.

Bye, bye zombie scum!

Shoot your way through 11 levels of complete anarchy and hilarity. A law meter will show you how much (or how little) you execute your job in accordance to Mega City One laws. You can choose to be a merciful judge or be ruthless and unforgiving (the latter is more fun).

Dredd vs. Death offers a LAN multiplayer death match mode so that you can play with friends and choose a variety of characters, or you can play the arcade version of the game for even more mayhem.

I am justice!

Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death is ridiculous in the best way and you are sure to have hours of fun handing out justice to criminals and lawbreakers. Laws against having an annoying voice, for instance. Don’t miss out the fun.
