A fantastic FPS from Monolith Productions (think Blood, F.E.A.R, No One Lives Forever, Shogo, Shadow of Mordor, etc not Xenoblade). A critical darling from 2003 that, for whatever reason, failed to gain any sort of traction with gamers at release, it's one of the most unique FPS games you'll play, both visually and mechanically.

It's pretty difficult, and hails from a time before checkpoints every 30 seconds, so be prepared to familiarize yourself with quick save (F5) and quick load (F9) keys, at least in the early game before your character gets fully equipped with weapons (primitives) and perks (called sub-routines here).

If you decide to take the plunge on this one, I recommend taking the time to install the Killer App mod (there's a full guide in the community guide section) to enable widescreen support (and resolutions like 1920x1080) and force some AA through your graphics control panel. In high resolution the smooth, sharp lines and glaring neon of the abstract TRON universe have never looked better. Not bad for a game over a decade old!

I genuinely can't recommend this game highly enough, and at a current cost equivalent to about two pints of beer here in the UK, it's an absolute bargain. Also light cycles, nuff said.
