I will never forget the part of that one level where you discover the Moon Landing was faked. That alone makes this game worthy of preservation. Future generations deserve to experience such an honor.
To be honest i never had the chance to play this game in my ps2 however i am craving to play it once remastered on pc, i think it has a awesome gunplay, even tho it may not received a sequel or smth i think this game deserve a remaster.
Everything from the moonlanding set to scan able tank that ended up being Bigfoot to the repaired UFO that crashed in roswell this game has given me fond memories with me and my siblings back on the ps2
This game is one I remember most playing with my youngest son, on the original xbox, split-screen death match. Years later I would pick it up on pc, and found the single-player interesting, but not as fun as I remembered in those death-matches. My son told me lately, I should get another console so we can play again; I told HIM this story too then, and about GOG. He's thirty-something: guess how OLD that makes me? But we still like to play... Very GOOD memories of this game with some others over the years! :-)
Ohhh, I remember this one! I've got it on PC attached to a game magazine like 20 years ago. I remember the feelings of fear and awe once I descended to the base. I've felt the shock once the first alien quickly sprinted through end of corridor, which I did not expect. Game that used all sci-fi Area 51 tropes to create a fun, replayable shooter with lot of "that looks cool" moments.
Re-releasing it by GOG will definitely feel nice. In times of over-complicated games, titles that just provide easy, pure fun are gold.
I remember replaying the story mode of this game many times, back then, when I got it on the PS2 in 2005. It has great story and fun gameplay.
it is one of my most favorite single player Aliens shooters out there for me.
Would like to replay hopefully one day on PC via GOG preservation :)
This is one of those games that fascinated me as a kid and was a such fun game to play and enjoy with my sister and pops. At times i remember this being a difficult experience and don't recall finishing it.
I still remember when I bought this game for the PS2, I was in middle school. To this day its atmosphere has stuck with me, very bleak game which was downright scary for my younger self (definitely horror for me, at least until a certain point), especially with how defeatist the first part of the game feels, before transitioning into a lone wolf rabbit hole. But it was also quite fun to play. A strong singleplayer experience that manages to be atmospheric both when you are alone and with allies. Now looking back (or better said: looking at gameplay videos) I realize it's not a perfect game, but I would totally buy a reliable version.
This and F.E.A.R. molded me into craving horror FPS experiences that feel creepy, hopeless and yet a blast to fight your way through.
This is probably my overall favorite game of all time, even if its just nostalgia. It was the first time my dad took me to GameStop. The guy almost didn't let us buy it because I wasn't 18. I spent at least a year when I was 10 playing this game. So good that I'm thinking about buying a PS2 just to play it.
This game is actually better than both F.E.A.R. or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. It has a palpably terrifying atmosphere that can only come from a close encounter with the supernatural.

Shadow Man: 2econd ComingMike LeRoi -- the embittered protagonist of the original Shadow Man title, is tasked yet again with saving Liveside and the parallel world of Deadside. In this third-person action-adventure, a cult of demons known only as the Grigori (and who, incidentally, have been masquerading as humans for the past 2000 years), are intent on resurrecting their master, Asmodeus. Doing so will bring about a cataclysmic end to all of humanity. As both, Mike Leroi and his alter ego Shadow Man, players must explore six worlds; each with numerous sub-locations, in their quest to prevent these vile creatures from bringing their diabolical scheme to fruition.
When engaged in combat Mike LeRoi can attack with a bevy of armaments, running the gamut from powerful projectile-based weapons to short-range melee ones with which to bludgeon an opponent to death with. Additionally, it's possible for players to equip a different weapon in each hand, or alternatively, to equip a single, heavier two-handed weapon. When wielded by Shadow Man himself, weapons take on additional properties. A lock-on cursor can be used to target specific enemies, allowing the player to dodge and attack with consummate ease. Interspersed throughout the title are puzzles that must be solved in order for Shadow Man to advance through the worlds.
Throughout the quest Mike will experience constantly changing weather and time; day changes to night, and back again in real-time, with inclement weather prevailing in many parts of the game world. Returning to the fold are Mama Nettie and Jaunty, two of Shadow Man's cohorts from the original title, while Thomas Deacon, the wheelchair-bound guardian of an ancient book the Grigori are after, makes his debut appearance. Shadow Man: 2econd Coming features mature, violent themes that touch upon subjects such as religion and voodoo. The cut-scenes feature character dialogue that is equally adult oriented.Action Horror
Half-Life: Opposing ForceOpposing Force returns to the same setting as Half-Life, but instead portrays the events from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original game.
