As if the Machine Mother herself heard our prayers, we'll finally be able to buy Looking Glass's phenomenal System Shock 2 again. The cyberpunk survival horror FPS-RPG has been mired in rights issues for yonks, but Night Dive Studios has managed to free it enough to re-release this wonderful, wonderful game on GOG tomorrow at $9.99. It's pretty good.
As GOG has unearthed and re-released vintage video games from EA's catalogue, the digital distributor has come up short a few expansion packs.

A merry Winterval to one and all!
