Sydney, leader of the religious cult Müllenkamp, laid sieg..."

"In the world of Gaming, 2000 was actually a pretty kick ass year. We were all able to get our hands on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo sold it’s 100,000,000th Game Boy system.

Looking Glass Studios (System Shock 2, Thief series) went out of business. Bungie was bought by Microsoft (to the eternal embarrassment of Apple's Steve Jobs, to be sure), and Red Storm Entertainment became the new property of Ubisoft.
