This should be of interest to all you fans of System Shock 2 out there.
I'm an avid reader of Penny Arcade and the other day they made a post referencing a Gamespot.com article in which the makers of System Shock 2 (Irrational Games) looked back on the game and talked about how they thought about it as they were putting it together. It then alluded to a "big announcement" that would be exciting to those who'd liked System Shock 2 that they would make the next day.
Well, here's the announcement:

The spiritual successor to System Shock 2 in the form of BioShock. I've dabbled in System Shock 2 and (assuming I find time) I do plan to play through the whole thing at some point, but I really like the open-ended first person style, a la Deus Ex. I'm very excited to see where this game goes and hope that either it'll work on my old gaming rig or that it'll come out after I've bought a new one. Either way, good fucking news for all. Enjoy.
