Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for cracks to start showing in Soldier of Fortune Payback's facade. I mean how can they mess up with such solid groundwork already laid in place by the previous games? Things didn't get much better when it was found out that a small company named Cauldron out of the Slovak Republic would be handling the development, but still people held out hope. So when Activision suddenly announced earlier this year that they were bringing the violent series back, many people were quite excited - if a little confused by the news that Raven Software was no longer the development company. Though neither game was ever considered a top-tier quality title, both Soldier of Fortune games have managed to attract and keep a solid cult following with many gamers (including myself) playing one or both of the games even to this day. A sequel was made two years later in 2002, also starring John Mullins, titled Soldier of Fortune: Double Helix and upped the ante considerably in terms of gore and violence due to their much publicized GHOUL 2.0 dismemberment system. Developed by Raven Software (the guys making a little title called Quake 4), the first game starred a real-life mercenary named John Mullins and was made popular due to its unusual (for the time) real-world topical settings and violent, visceral combat. The Soldier of Fortune series of games has long been a guilty little pleasure for many gamers.
