    BioShock 2: Great, good, or sorta meh?

    So, BioShock 2. Presumably you've heard of it. It comes out today, and I really can't figure out how I'm supposed to feel. I've read plenty of reviews—Rock, Paper, Shotgun's is my favorite—and they're sorta all over the place. We weren't cool enough to get a review copy, but that's not a big deal; Steam to the rescue.

  • Poles are shocked – shocked! – at Bioshock 2

    Poles are shocked – shocked! – at Bioshock 2

    Oh, Ziema Lubuska, today is your lucky day! Apparently a games blogger for Gazeta Lubulska (Circulation: Maybe fifty grandmas out in Zielona Gora, Poland) just rocked the world with his review of Bioshock 2 saying that the game is a "Shock" and asking if "this is the direction video games are heading?" While his arguments are slow-witted and dull, it's definitely giving a small paper in rural Poland a nice boost in pageviews.

  • Because of leaks, we need to immediately implement DRM on console games

    Because of leaks, we need to immediately implement DRM on console games

    It's time we start implementing DRM on console games. I mean, look at this nonsense. The Xbox 360 version of BioShock 2 leaked yesterday, a full five days before its official release. The same thing happened with Mass Effect 2, which leaked something like six days for the Xbox 360 before its official release. Since publishers are so keen to treat PC gamers like filthy thieves, I say we start implementing annoying DRM on console games, too.

    Where were you when the Xbox 360 version of BioShock 2 leaked? (Because it just did, you see.)

    Five days. We’re a whopping five days away from the game’s official release date, but BioShock 2, the second truly big game of the year (the other being Mass Effect 2) has now leaked.

    BioShock 2 launch details: New trailer, bonus characters for GameStop pre-orders

    Anyone else running through BioShock again in anticipation of new week's launch of BioShock 2? I'm currently in Arcadia, which is about where I got to on the Xbox 360 version before tapping out. (I'm playing on the PC now. Yay.) But enough of that, let's get to the topic at hand: BioShock 2's fancy launch. Take-Two has a bunch of stuff planned to ensure that, come February 9, you won't be able to escape the call of Rapture.

    Looks like we have ourselves yet another DRM-related controversy for your amusement. The star this time is BioShock 2, the upcoming FPS developed by various 2K studios. The usual suspects abound: SecurROM, limited installations, and Games for Windows Live.

    Bioshock 2 video preview

    I've been told that I need to play the original Bioshock. I missed out on it when it first came out, but picked it up on Steam a while back and just never played it. I've been told it's a great game, but I haven't had the time to check it out yet. Guess I should get to it, since the hands-on videos are already coming out for the sequel.

    BioShock 2 won’t be launching in Q1 of 2010 [Update]

    Joytiq is reporting out of GamesCom that 2K will not be releasing BioShock 2 in Q1 of 2010. According to an unnamed 2K rep, a new trailer for the hottest game of 2010 will be shown at PAX East, which runs the last week of March. That makes me sad. Oh well. Update: Bloops. Update: Call [...]
