It seems the episodic version of SiN has been abandoned after just one instalment following a recent shake up at developer Ritual.

SiN Episodes was the first episodic FPS delivered via Valve's Steam software. The first, and now, only, episode debuted in May 2006.

Earlier this month, the Dallas-based studio appointed Ken Harward as its new studio director after former boss Steve Nix left for id - just one of a number of staff departures that saw the team behind SiN Episodes, disappear; project lead Shawn Ketcherside had left the company after nearly six years in September and QA lead Michael Russell also confirmed via his blog he had left the company.

Hmm I thought sin episodes was the usual unimaginative FPS garbage (run, shoot, find key, run, shoot, find key etc). Hopefully they'll bring out something worth paying for next time, or at least making an attempt to push the FPS genre forward.

Another good PC game bites the dust. It's probably dropped so they can make some cheesy console title that they turn off the assembly line for $500,000 and spend $3,000,000 to market it and win game of the year next year.
