System Shock 2 was a turning point in immersive gaming for me, not because it looked realistic or sounded realistic but because it acted realistic.

I only ever hear good things about it. And Bioshock is due out soon(ish).

System Shock 2 did the scary as all giddy-up ghosts thing back in '99. There were some pant-wetting moments in that... for people who wet their pants and unload an entire clip at the ghostly apparition of a character who looks just like you but is pleading for their life. Totally agree about Doom 3 though. I gave up after a while, it hadn't immersed me. Pah! System Shock 2 did the scary as all giddy-up ghosts thing back in ‘99.
