System Shock is a classic and one of the best RPG/FPS crossovers. If you have played Bioshock, System Shock has similar gameplay, but with a space theme and much more in-depth controls and features, at least in my opinion. Although, in comparison, Bioshock is a dumbed-down and modernized version of this game with an underwater theme. System Shock has an interace that can be hard to get used to and has some pretty challenging hacking puzzles, but, to me, that adds to the game as I like figuring things out. Once you are used to the control scheme and interface, it is one of the most intense FPS/RPG games you will ever play with a awesome storyline.

In System Shock, you play as a hacker that gets caught hacking. For your crimes, you are taken to a ship called Citadel Station to develop an Artifical Intelligence, called SHODAN. In return for your hard work, your record is wiped clean and you get a computer interface surgically implemented into your body. Your surgury takes 6 months to heal so you are crotgenetically put to sleep. After 6 months, you awake to find out SHODAN, the AI you developed, became so powerful and advanced it thinks it is god and tries to wipe out the human race with an army of robots, cyborgs, and mutants. You're job is simple, destroy SHODAN before it takes over Earth.

I have not played System Shock 1 before, and once I did, this instantly became one of my favorite games because of how different it is in the controls, interface, and gameplay compared to most shooters of this genre. If this game at all interests you, do yourself a favor and pick this up! You will not be disappointed. System Shock 2 is a great game also. Play both, if you get a chance.
