Being One:
Episode 5 - Infection
We thought we had seen the last of Being One. The nigh-indestructable creature had escaped from the humans who imprisoned him and experimented upon them in their orbital lab, and returned to his people. Now he's back, though, and he's looking for vengeance. But nothing is as it seems in Being One: Episode 5 - Infection, the newest in Psionic's series of horror adventure games. Awesome atmosphere and twisty plotting is hampered by a lack of documentation and an abrupt ending, but all fans of sci-fi horror should love it.

Congratulations! You've beat the game!!!
Just the other day I was thinking of how the endings to ongoing mystery/sci-fi series tend to be disappointing, and Episode 4 of Being One stuck out in my mind as one of the worst ever.
Now, three full years after a series that normally only had a couple months apart, they announce that they aren't, in fact, done? Wow. Just... wow. I am thrilled.
I've played all the Being One games up through #4, and the first one is still my favorite. Mainly this is because it's not so shootery and reflex-oriented :). I'm not sure if I want to play this since I tend to get frustrated with games I'm terrible at, but idk. I'd like to know the story, so maybe.
And a sequel, three years later... this gives me more hope for Ghostscape!
I really love this series. It is "believable", if you will, and the graphics are very high quality. The plot grows deeper and deeper as you progress through all 5 in the series, and I like the occasional gun fights thrown yo keep you engaged. Props to the game makers. Being One 6 (and beyond) would be very well received indeed!
