5. Second Sight
John Vattic's one and only appearance came in Free Radical's excellent PS2 era adventure, Second Sight. Vattic is a parapsychology researcher (which almost sounds as boring as patent lawyer) who is asked to advise a military unit named WinterICE on a mission. He is not a solider, just a simple teacher but at the start of the game he finds himself in a medical facility with no memory and some quite deadly psychic powers. The back-story is filled in with flashback missions which intersperse the main missions and it is here that we see just how green poor old John Vattic is, as he desperately tries not to get himself killed when the mission goes wrong. Looking somewhat like a young Gordon Freeman in the flashback missions, Vattic is everything that you would come to expect from the reluctant hero.
