Ranking #1 in the PC Data charts for the action category November 1-7, 1998, Ritual Entertainment's first-person 3D shooter, Sin, has a great start in holiday sales and may prove to be one of the season's best sellers. Designed for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, it's currently available in more than 10,000 retail locations throughout North America.

Featuring an intense, character-driven single-player story and a solid multiplayer experience, Sin is powered by an enhanced version of the Quake II engine, offers six distinct regions to explore, dishes out a high dose of humor via a wise-cracking sidekick and provides a "fully interactive environment" for the gamer to wreak havoc in.

Of course, Sin is probably best known for its sexy female antagonist, Elexis Sinclair. CEO of SinTEK Industries, Ms. Sinclair is bent on overtaking the world via her unholy army of genetically mutated followers, that is, unless player character Colonel John R. Blade can stop her.

Developer Ritual Entertainment, formerly known as Hipnotic Interactive, is best known for their first game the QUAKE Mission Pack #1: Scourge of Armagon. Sin, published by Activision, is available for $49.95.
