System Shock 2 Ships

System Shock 2 Ships is the news today, which means another box, download, or retail shelf just got busier.

Electronic Arts is behind the announcement. Electronic Arts and Looking Glass Studios today shipped System Shock 2, a 3D science fiction/horror role-playing game (RPG) and sequel to System Shock, one of the most critically acclaimed computer games in history.

The game, which again pits players against the evil artificial intelligence SHODAN, was co-developed by Looking Glass Studios and Irrational Games, and is being co-published by Looking Glass Studios and Electronic Arts. The title will begin hitting stores today and will be available nationwide by Friday, with a suggested retail price of $44.95.

PC hardware is moving stupid fast right now, and this is one more part of that arms race.
