"No One Lives Forever 2," a stylish PC game from Fox Interactive, provides tense moments and lots of laughs. As a first person-perspective shooting game revolving around spies, it has loads of guns and enemies; but it also parodies both spy movies and its own game genre.

In NOLF2, players step into the shoes of a nimble and cunning female agent named Cate Archer as she battles Soviet soldiers, deadly ninja, and other assorted goons.

The bad guys work for an evil organization called "H.A.R.M." (Don't ask what H.A.R.M. stands for, because the folks at Fox are not telling -- they politely informed me that the words in this acronym are secret.)
