	Monroe Technical Support - Suspension System Fundamentals
		Shocks and struts help control how fast the springs and suspension are allowed to move, which is important in keeping tires in firm contact with the road.
		If the struts or shock absorbers are worn and the vehicle meets a bump in the road, the vehicle will bounce at the frequency of the suspension until the energy of the bump is used up.
		Struts and shock absorbers that are in good condition will allow the suspension to oscillate through one or two diminishing cycles, limiting or damping excessive movement, and maintaining vertical loads placed upon the tires.

	IGN: System Shock 2 Review
		Their latest foray into the first-person shooter world, System Shock 2, is an amazingly well crafted example of the genre that combines raw action with horror and suspense to deliver a gameplay experience that is very different from anything else on the shelves.
		System Shock 2 takes place in the same game world as the original title, a universe in which the Earth has already reached out and colonized the solar system.
		There aren't really all that many standard weapons available in System Shock 2 as compared to most first person shooters, but the ones that are there are very useful and each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

	System Shock - Just Adventure + Review
		System Shock is a game with lots of puzzles and quests, some RPG elements and bits of a story too.
		System Shock can go from almost pure 3D shooter with bad monsters and linear progress to near adventure game with feeble opponents that are there just for show and many quests requiring lots of running around the space station.
		The storyline of System Shock is more complex than one would expect from something that looks like a first person shooter.

		System Shock may in fact be an adventure game, but different from other adventure games of today you do not just roam around triggering the next story element.
		System Shock may in fact be a role-playing game, but different from other role-playing games of today you do not just about complete many generic quests to advance your character stats.
		System Shock may in fact be an action shooter, but different from other action shooters of today you do not just run around killing everyone in sight.

	GameOver - System Shock 2 (c) Electronic Arts / Looking Glass Studios (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The sound in System Shock 2 is done really well I must say, with eerie music in the background, sometimes breaking out into something more thumpy, which signals your about to plow through a pile of bad guys.
		It had been promised at E3 that System Shock 2 would ship with multiplayer, but many people will be sorely disappointed to learn that this is not the case.
		System Shock 2 certainly appealed to me, although looking back on it now, it is hard to explain what made it fun to play.

		Shock Pulse - a shock pulse is a transmission of kinetic energy to a system, which takes place in a relatively short length of time compared to the natural period of this system.
		Shock mounts work by isolating the chassis or the mounted component from the motion of the surrounding structure.
		Shock mount grommets are available in with varying stiffness and are selected depending on the weight of the mounted device.

	System Shock 2 review for the PC
		With neat sound effects and occasional spurts of music, System Shock 2 rivals the spooky factor of such console favorites as Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill.
		System Shock 2 kept reminding me of Shadowrun for the Genesis, which had an excellent cyberspace component.
		System Shock 2 is, bar none, the best FPS game to come down the pipe in quite awhile.

		After all, the shock wave -- called the "bow shock," like the ripple of water raised by a boat's bow as it moves through the water -- is the solar system's protective womb, and we'd like to know more about it.
		The solar particles at the edge of the heliosphere form the bow shock, which acts as a barrier to deflect incoming cosmic rays that are up to a million times more energetic than the solar wind.
		The termination shock is a region where the solar wind first feels the interstellar medium, dropping its speed from several hundred kilometers per second to less than half that.

	GameSpy.com - Hall of Fame
		Van Gogh's sad tale is not unlike that of Looking Glass Studios' System Shock, which is without a doubt one of the most original, playable, and immersive computer games ever created.
		System Shock came and went whilst everyone was busy killing each other in Doom II, and the title slipped off the radars of all but the most ardent gamers.
		The incredible story is the number one element that created the magic that was System Shock, so it's fitting that the game was one of the first to feature a pre-rendered FMV intro.

	System Shock 2 for PC Review - PC System Shock 2 Review
		System Shock 2 both retains the best attributes of its predecessor and provides a fresh experience in its own right.
		In fact, System Shock was a game that defied pigeonhole classification because it borrowed elements and themes from a variety of genres.
		System Shock 2's engine is well equipped for such stealthy maneuvering, as it's essentially an enhanced version of the Dark Engine created by Looking Glass for Thief, combined with some of the better interface features and controls of the original System Shock.

	Review: System Shock 2
		Second, because of the handy built-in log system, you always know what you're supposed to be doing (even if you're not sure where or how!).
		Your main opponent was a rogue computer intelligence named Shodan, and the game consisted mainly of foiling her attempts to take over the station and the world.
		System Shock 2 is truly scary, smart, challenging, fascinating, and disturbing.

		After that......well, your memory seems to be damaged, because the next thing you know you're coming out of a cyro tube with blood on the floor and a woman's voice telling you that something has taken over the Von Braun and to come meet her.
		A full stereo surround system is needed for the best music and sound effects, but you can still get some effects no matter what you do.
		System Shock 2 is a must-play for anyone who likes FPS, RPG, or a well-written adventure game.

	Shock
		Hemorrhagic shock is commonly the result of trauma from motor vehicle collisions or penetrating injuries (such as a gunshot or knife wound).
		Neurogenic shock is also largely caused by trauma, specifically motor vehicle collisions that result in spinal cord injury.
		Underlying immune system difficulties as they relate to diabetes, steroid use, and AIDS are other risk factors for the incidence of septic shock.

		System Shock II was a sequel that came out of nowhere and hit the gaming community like a bolt of lightning.
		With this criteria in mind, System Shock 2 is easily my favorite game of all time, and I would argue for it to be the best game of all time.
		To fully illustrate how well done this is, system shock 2 (and the original for that matter) were the only games where I truly cared and had concern for characters in the game's story that aren't encountered during actual gameplay.

	System Shock 2 review
		Around the time of doom, there was a game called “System Shock”, and although no hard-core have forgotten it, it seem to have only lain in the shadow of the aforementioned giant we know as “doom”.
		Lastly, psi-soldiers are using their “Psionic” powers as a weapon, and I suppose this is System Shock 2’s response on magic in other games, as they do not rely on usual firearms.
		In System Shock, the story was a very big part of the game, and this has followed into the sequel, as it has a story in a time when action games build more on action and less on the “epic” experience of a game.

	System Shock 2 for PC video game review and cheats
		When you first enter a new game in System Shock, it takes you about 15-20 minutes to generate a character and to get into the actual gameplay.
		I would have liked to see a night vision capability for the character in the game because it can get really dark wandering around that big old creepy ship, but I suppose that is what makes you wet your pants when something jumps out at you in the dark.
		I never had the opportunity to play the original System Shock, but if it is anything like its sequel I can see why people love this game.

	GameSpy.com - Gaming's Homepage
		Shock's hardcore science fiction storyline was fascinating, and never before had a first-person game attempted to tell such an ambitious story.
		System Shock 2 continued this tradition with one of the more terrifying games ever made, but I think many gamers were put off by the horribly ugly character models and the fact that enemies kept respawning, meaning you were never really safe.
		And be sure to grab the System Shock 2 "Rebirth" modification, which gives the game a nice graphical update.

		Notwithstanding a few differences, the interface is similar for the most parts to the interface used in the original System Shock (such as marking active items with brackets instead of highlighting them and showing the remaining hit points of your enemies with colored bars above their brackets).
		In addition, the ship decks appear to be too big to be loaded in its entirety into the computer’s system memory, so that bulkhead doors are artificially placed within the game environment to denote new areas which then need to be loaded whenever they are entered.
		Despite the complex interface and the convoluted storytelling, System Shock 2 is still a worthy sequel to System Shock.

	System Shock 2 Preview
		There really haven't been many games that have compared to System Shock (Half-Life maybe, but HL is much more action oriented), so you can see why all the hardcore fans of the original System Shock are frothing at the mouth with anticipation for the sequel, based on Thief's Dark engine.
		With elements of adventure, action, and role playing, System Shock 2 is poised to give gamers an immersive game play experience even beyond that of Thief or Half-Life.
		With its compelling storyline, clean graphics, role playing elements (assume characteristics of 3 different player classes), and unique gameplay, System Shock 2 promises to be one of this year's big hits.

		BioShock has been variously described as the spiritual successor to System Shock 2 (the trademark for which, perhaps coincidentally, Electronic Arts was yesterday reported to have renewed), which was the developer’s first game in 1999.
		Irrational Games, creators of critically acclaimed games such as System Shock 2, Freedom Force, Tribes:Vengeance, and SWAT 4, is currently seeking programming interns for their upcoming title "Bioshock".

		Strangely, System Shock 2 shipped within two months of its targeted date and will, I hope, be recognized as a sequel worthy of its esteemed ancestor.
		The Dark Engine was never delivered to the System Shock team as a finished piece of code, nor were we ever presented with a final set of APIs that the engine was to implement.
		Remarkably, it is still possible to compile a hybrid executable out of this tree that can play both Thief and System Shock 2 based on a variable in a configuration file.
