So I always heard good things about Freedom Force (+ sequel) and have been meaning to play them for years - I finally picked them up in the Steam sale the other week (£5 for both iirc) and I've been hooked on them since. I have a stack of newer games waiting but ended up playing straight through FF1+2 in the last couple of weeks instead.
I just got done with 3rd Reich and can say that both games thoroughly deserve their reputation - great characters and they nailed the humour and the story, particularly in the first game. They've aged pretty well, so don't let that put you off (the gameplay is much tighter in the second game, but slightly less satisfying as a result).
The guys that made these went on to become 2K Boston and released Bioshock, apparently they aren't making Bioshock 2 though and are working on a new IP. With their form I'm really looking forward to seeing what they're working on - but do you think there's any hope of them ever returning to the Freedom Force franchise? I hope they do.
