No One Lives Forever and its sequel are two games that I particularly enjoyed playing. Set in a mid-century spy movie theme you are playing Cate Archer, a top secret agent for an English secret service called U.N.I.T.Y. who has to take down the terrorist organization aptly named H.A.R.M.
The two games are very atmospheric and full of 60ties flair, concealed spy gadgets, exotic locations, fast-paced action, insanely dangerous situations and spiked with a good dose of humor. Gladly they dont take themselves too serious unlike some other games of the genre.
In this video Cate Archer and a ninja named Isako (who is - rather unwillingly one of the villains henchmen) are fighting it out in No One Lives Forever 2 in an impossible showdown taking place in a trailer home which is being hurled away by an approaching tornado and somehow both are getting out of it alive.

Wow, great video. I remember seeing this game back in the day (one of my ex-girlfriends loved it), but never played it. It looks like it's held up remarkably well, though. The skill points remind me of something like System Shock or Deus Ex.

I remember when I played the game the first time ... the graphics of NOLF2 were state-of-the-art back then in 2002 but I think it can still hold up pretty well against newer titles, especially regarding the theme and the fun this game is. Even the first part is still very enjoyable IMHO even though it's graphics are much cheaper.
