I loved Syphon Filter when I was growing up watching my older brothers play at the time. I eventually was able to play the original Syphon Filter and thoroughly enjoyed it. When they released Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, I loved how you were able to create your own character and select your different types of weapons. The customization was phenomenal for its time! I've longed for this to hit the streaming market so that I could play this game again on PC.

The Suffering: Ties That Bind
The Suffering: Ties That BindThe Suffering: Ties That Bind follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by combining a disturbing horror atmosphere with action/shooter gameplay. Players can switch between third person and first person depending on their preference, and will shoot a lot of hideous demonic manifestations of evil before the game is done. The player is also able to transform into a hideous creature at key times in the game, which allows him to engage in intense melee combat. The game includes a morality system which records the player's actions during gameplay and changes the story accordingly, and also alters the player's creature form. Everything from the first The Suffering has been refined and turned up a notch for the sequel.
