Old Skool Gamage

Not quite that old, but for several days I've tried to get System Shock 2 running under XP. I found lots of tips for getting it running, and while I resolved some issues I couldn't get the thing to stop crashing after running it for thirty minutes or so. I've been waiting for Bioshock to be released, so hopefully that will deliver the spiritual successor to SS2.

System Shock 2 got me thinking about another highly rated RPG/shooter hybrid, Deus Ex, which I discovered was for sale via Steam. It's downloading now. I've heard Deus Ex called "the thinking man's shooter," so I think I'm going to like it.
