The SiN Episodes
Website has word that Emergence, the first installment in Ritual's episodic
shooter sequel series, is now available via Steam: Emergence, the first in a series
of episodic games, casts players as HardCorps commander John Blade, stepping
into the living world of Freeport City to defend humankind against Elexis
Sinclaire, a beautiful and ruthless scientist out to remake humanity according
to her own twisted vision. The law has failed to bring Elexis and her SiNTEK
empire to justice, so you and your allies, the secretive hacker JC and fiery
rookie Jessica Cannon, must bring down Sinclaire and her mutants before she can
set her deadly plan in motion and forever alter the shape of humanity.
The Sin Episodes series is built on Source, the same engine Valve created for
Half-LifeŽ 2. Source offers state of the art graphics, physics simulation
technology, an advanced character animation system and more. In the creation of
Emergence, Ritual has taken the award-winning Source engine into new realms. As
an example, the game adapts and tunes itself to each player's skill level and
play style through the Personal Challenge System, which measures player's
abilities, behavior, and reactions to the game world and then adjusts the
gameplay and enemy prowess to match. Ruthless foes such as jetpack soldiers and
mutants will thus evolve as you fight them, adapting to challenge the strengths
of skilled players while seeking not to overwhelm inexperienced gamers. In
addition, Emergence features advanced AI where enemies cooperate with each
other, highly interactive environments that allow players to set traps,
location-based damage, and fast-paced vehicle combat.
Providing a complete game with 4-6 hours of gameplay for players of all skill
levels, Emergence's self-contained story fits into an overarching story arc
populated with strong characters driven by believable motivations that will be
further revealed in future episodes. Featuring the new Context Look System,
thoughtful players can choose to dig into the deeper aspects of the story while
players who want to enjoy the destruction can charge ahead with only the
'mission critical' story points, advanced through choreographed sequences.
"SiN Episodes: Emergence provides a high quality, immersive experience in a
compact and affordable package that is accessible to players of all skill
levels," said Steve Nix, Ritual CEO. "Emergence is a true step forward built on
our ten years of growth and learning at Ritual, and the structure of SiN
Episodes allows our team to continue to create gameplay innovation and evolve
the storyline as the episodes continue."
SiN Episodes: Emergence for the PC is available now for $19.95, and carries an
ESRB rating of "M" (Mature). For more information, please visit the game's
official site at www.SinEpisodes.com.

You're forgetting shipping charges No, I'm not. If you pay more than $5 total for Sin, you paid too much.
non-guarenteed availability If it is up for sale, it is available.
If you live in Europe, it's even cheaper due to the weak dollar. Yes, you can buy from an American seller on ebay and save even more. (Only an idiot like you would somehow think that a strong Euro only buys more on Steam.)
The expansion may be playable only on the normal SiN for now, but that'll change soon. LOL! The game came out in 1998 and the expansion in 1999. The fact that it is not available on Steam now is a joke.
Also, SiN in Steam is patched to a newer version that has several bug fixes unavailable in the CD version of SiN. Those so-called bug fixes are only pertinent to bugs in the Steam version. The CD version does not have them.
And despite the fact that Steam is a whole lot better than every single digital distribution, all we hear is whining, whining, whining. Yes, it's so great that people always complain about it. LOL! While I certainly don't agree that Steam is better than the rest, even if it were, shit is still shit. The fact that it might be a slightly better piece of shit than another piece of shit is irrelevant.
Well reasoned You are the typical Valve toady who never lets logic and reason get in the way of his sycophantic behavior.
whining by people who should just buy an X360 and STFU, because PC gaming isn't for them. Oh yes, if you are against Steam, you are against PC gaming. LOL! Jesus Christ, son, get your head out of Valve's ass, and look around the PC gaming landscape. There is so much more to it than Valve and Steam.
