1999: Eidos releases Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for PS in the US. Confession: I played this game for 10 minutes at a demo unit and could make absolutely no sense of the game. Since then, I've stubbornly assumed that hordes of people play the series only with the addiction to one day actually understanding how to play, let alone how to beat, the game. And no one can change my mind.

2003: Activision releases Star Trek: Elite Force II for PC in the US. You've gotta feel sorry for the Star Trek special ops guys at the bar. "So what do you do?" "I'm part of an elite force." "Really...wow. For whom." "Uhh...that's classified."
