Found while trawling through Blues News, sipping on my morning coffee, is this invaluable guide to taking System Shock 2 and tarting it up. Why? Because she's a grand old lady. She deserves to be looking her best. And with BioShock just around the corner, it's a good time to catch up with its "spiritual predecessor".

Windows XP stability patches, sound upgrades, new textures, high-poly models, the works, follow this guide and your dear old friend will be looking better than ever. If you haven't played System Shock 2, and have been raised on normal-mapping, HDR and whatever else it is graphics cards manufacturers stick behind bullet points these days, you NEED this. No kidding. Your eyes won't adjust to 1999. Luke Plunkett
