We didn't get the dark and gritty cyberpunk.

We got the infantilized version of it with hello kitty poo poo everywhere.

Cryin' Chris is a WASTE.

I gotta get to bed so I can arrive at my job in meatspace on time, so the executive caste doesn't terminate me, but before I do let's acknowledge a pretty C-SPAM game:
E.Y.E. DIVINE CYBERMANCY

A very bizarre, psychadelic romp through a galaxy conquered by a now-collapsing empire, E.Y.E takes place after a series of events gives the evils of the human mind sentient form and releases them upon the universe.
You play as a member of one rebel faction opposing the empire, loosely affiliated with a rival anti-imperial faction. You and your hated rivals live under the same roof in a secret compound. (like D&D and us!)
The original goal of shattering the government becomes more and more distant as you fight to undermine your rival faction and fend off the hordes of Sins-Made-Real clawing through the walls around you.

And that's just where the ride begins.
