Irrational Games has always been a game developer that has gotten huge critical acclaim and numerous awards, not to mention a rabid cult following, but the developer with offices in Boston and Australia has never really been a huge sales draw when their games are finally released. Starting as an offshoot of the now defunct Looking Glass Studios, Irrational's first game was the instant classic System Shock 2 which surpassed the original in terms of immersive gameplay. It also showed that the developer was one of the few game studios that understood storytelling. Irrational's two Freedom Force games used the Stan Lee-Jack Kirby style of comic books to create a fun pair of action-RPGs that finally got rid of the super hero curse in PC games.
