System Shock 2 confirmed for GOG ... tomorrow!
No time for rumors! Good Old Games has confirmed that System Shock 2, a game glaring in its absence from the digital space, is coming to its service, and it'll be available tomorrow! The GOG release will come with a number of notable extras, to the point where it's being called a "virtual collector's edition." According to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the package will include a soundtrack, concept art, maps of the Von Braun, an interview with Ken Levine, and the game's original pitch document, among other stuff. This is magnificent news. Just before the rumors started of this game's release, I was trying to find a way to obtain it without resorting to "the bad thing," so this is perfect news. My wallet is at the ready. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
