Before there was BioShock, there was System Shock 2, a FPS/RPG set on an abandoned ship in space in which players emerge from cryo-sleep to face a horrific alien infestation. Playing this game was a genuinely traumatising experience.
Enemies were hideously disturbing to look at and the soundtrack was capable of chilling players to their core - particularly those brave (or mad) enough to wear headphones. It doesn't look as gorgeous as its spiritual successor, but without this thrill-ridden space horror, BioShock and a host of other games wouldn't exist and gamers would be all the poorer for it.
Once again, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was snubbed.
