So says Shodan , in a chillingly seductive voice that sends shivers up the player’s spine as your fingers quiver and you amble feverishly through the nightmare filled corridors of dread, only to realize the absolute futility of your quest.This is only the beginning of your descent into the stark depths of screaming insanity...and love.

Some more love
Oooh...shiny!
Now...gaze into the face of madness:
For a ruthless AI who fancies herself to be a goddess, Shodan, is perhaps the most memorable and best conceived of fictional antagonists. System Shock 2 only serves to accentuate the legendary status of Looking Glass Studios. LSG was the auteur of such fantastically atmospheric works such as Thief 1 & 2, Terra Nova and Ultima Underworld. Shodan, in many ways, is also a grim reminder of the times to come where we will be increasingly dependent on technology.
Ah, if only Shodan wasn’t such a bitch.
Consisting of a creepy ambivalent atmosphere, dimly lit corridors, believable AI, as well as fantastic design that oozed style, System Shock 2 was a game that had it all. Such was the trenchant pathos of realizing humanity’s fate, that this game left a lasting impression upon all those who played it.Not only was it unique but it was way ahead of its time and even by today's standards it's extremely playable. Strongly recommended for those who love video games (After all bitches make for awesome video game characters).
While you stay distracted, I must get back to kidnapping Megan Fox in a cleaning van,whilst dressed in a nurse's outfit.
