This was one of the series I followed back in the PSOne days, and I still find it befuddling that it was allowed to fester on the PSP instead of moving forward with the various PlayStations. In a lot of ways, they're ahead of their time; looking at them in 2015, they're graphically rough as hell, and Gabe's immensely flammable outfit used to drive me up the wall, but the action's smooth as hell and the cast of characters is way ahead of its time. I just looked up what the developers have been doing lately and I guess they're the ones behind the Uncharted game on the Vita.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Gabe Logan's voice acting. I have no idea who the actor is, but somehow he's got the perfect amount of "rugged badass" in his voice; he skips right up against the edge of self-parody but never quite goes over. It's amazing.

Psion posted:I'm surprised - he could've used this game as a springboard into the wonderful low-pay, high-stress, long-hours work of professional videogame voiceover artist! They don't make that little money. Although a lot of them also do cartoons.

IIRC, Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow were both written by Greg Rucka.

I always liked how much more Lian does in the second and third games, and Gabe's occasional sense of humor. "I don't know. I'm making this up as I go." Teresa's also pretty cool. In retrospect, Syphon Filter 2 feels a little like a proto-Uncharted 2, with the train sequence and, IIRC, the final boss trying to play the moral equivalence game.

I thought it was earlier in the series than this, but all the MGS jokes in the LP may get a little funnier after SF3 when Kim Mai Guest takes over as Lian's voice actress. She played Mei Ling, and has probably been in about a dozen other games you like.
