This particular post would have to be my favorite from the past five years as it is the first one to provide me with the opportunity to own an Optimus Maximus, a keyboard I have been following for years (since maybe '03 or '04) but figured I would never be able to afford once I found out the price.
I bought that game and absolutely loved it. The choice for an FPS was odd, but the feel of everything was near perfect (what was with the skanky outfits on the Red and Black Ajah members?). It was received quite well critically, and I think remains one of the more underrated games of the era. If you didn't mess your pants going through Shadar Logoth or freak out at the slightest whisper of noise during the Ways, then something was wrong with you.
