<p>1999&#8217;s first-person sci-fi horror classic <em>System Shock 2</em> is now available through digital distributor GOG.com.</p>
<p>Co-developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios, <em>System Shock 2</em> was designed by Ken Levine, who would go on to lead the creation of the highly acclaimed <em>BioShock</em>, a game which is considered a spiritual successor to the <em>System Shock</em> series.</p>
<p>The game blended first-person action with disturbing horror and in-depth RPG elements, creating a hybrid style which would become very influential in terms of video game design, particularly in the first-person shooter genre.</p>
<p><em>System Shock 2</em> allows the player to play with up to three friends co-operatively, and those who purchase the game via GOG.com will receive free bonus content such as the game&#8217;s soundtrack, several pieces of artwork, the original pitch document, and a recording of a radio interview with Ken Levine.</p>
<p><em>System Shock 2 </em>is available at GOG.com at a price of $9.99 and is compatible with Windows 7, 8, Vista, and XP.</p>
