SYSTEM SHOCK 2 (Irrational Games / Looking Glass Studios, 1999)
There is no other game with same kind of horrifying atmosphere and feeling of being left alone. Soundtrack is pure gold, voice acting is great, gameplay is amazing and it's awfully scary.

SYSTEM SHOCK 2 INFO
System Shock 2 (commonly abbreviated SS2) is a science fiction horror-themed first-person shooter which incorporates a number of elements commonly seen in computer role-playing games. It was developed by Looking Glass Studios and Looking Glass offshoot Irrational Games, and was released on August 11, 1999. It is a direct sequel to the seminal 1994 Looking Glass Studios computer game System Shock, with which it shares the same hybrid gameplay style. The game appears on a number of "Best Games of All Time" lists and has a strong fan base.
Taking place on an experimental starship in the far future, System Shock 2 has the player take control of a recent military recruit trying to survive a deadly and mysterious alien infestation. Horror is a prominent element of System Shock 2, and it has been frequently described as being quite shocking.
In 2004, Irrational Games announced a spiritual successor to the System Shock series, entitled Bioshock. The game takes place in an abandoned underwater utopian community that has somehow gone awry through events involving the genetic modification of its populace.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY?
"As you should expect, System Shock 2 is-in all actuality-pretty dang creepy. On several occasions I felt my heart jump upon rounding a corner and finding myself face to face with a horribly mutated hybrid, or walking into a room and seeing a crew member hanging from the ceiling in apparent suicide, their eyes darkly ringed and body slowly swaying in the draft." --Game First / Score 5/5
"...realistic environments, intriguing plot, and consistently uneasy atmosphere make System Shock 2 constantly effective. It is a hybrid game that effectively blends elements from a variety of genres into a thoroughly enjoyable and accessible package." --Gamespot / Score 8.5
"Imagine Resident Evil 2 crossed with Doom and some of the environments of Star Trek and you`ve got an idea of how System Shock 2 FEELS. Once you hear an unfortunate mutated human soul cry out, "Kill me"! or "Join The Many"! you will know the threshold of horror in a video/computer game." --Honest Gamers / Score 10
"The atmosphere is just amazing. Much like horror games, you need to keep your lights off and a great speaker setup to get the best effect. Just make sure the chair you are in is soft, you will be getting very jumpy as you play. You don't know what will pop up and when. Great Atmosphere + Great Story = WOW." --Gaming Age / Score A+
IF YOU LOVE SYSTEM SHOCK I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE AS WELL
- DEUS EX (series)
Fantastic FPS/RPG hybrid set in atmospheric cyberpunk universe. Someone might even go as far as say "better than System Shock 2." Who knows, but it's best bet you can start with.

- BIOSHOCK (series)
Much like SS2 but set in Steampunk/Biopunk setting instead of Cyberpunk. Made by same genius who brought us System Shock 2 - Ken Levine. More action, less RPG.

- THIEF (series)
Medieval stealth adventure made by same studio who brought us System Shock 2.

- CRUSADER (series)
Action games developed by Origins System (System Shock). Crusader series seems to share the universe with the System Shock franchise. An article in the 'Newspaper' added to the No Remorse box mentions SHODAN, Citadel station and artificial intelligence.
