The characters from the movie based off of Mark Millar's comic book Kick-Ass completely kick ass in this trailer for WHA Entertainment's video game adaptation for the iPhone and PlayStation Network, and somehow that doesn't seem right. More »

Taking an iconic video game character and reverse-engineering it as a prototype is a delicate task. Let's look at a few of the concepts drawing that eventually led to the Big Daddy of BioShock 2. More »

A sleek, female version of the lumbering Big Daddy that menaced players in the original BioShock will be featured in the sequel to the well-received shooter, sources tell Kotaku. More »

To promote BioShock, 2K shipped the collector's edition with a Big Daddy figurine. Sounded great in theory, but in practice, the thing was too fragile, and looked like it had been painted by...well, somebody who had never played BioShock. And who loved the smell of industrial-strength spraypaint a little too much. Enter a Mr. David Blades, who took the standard figure, broke its arms and legs off, then re-posed and re-painted the whole thing so it's looking much nicer. Well played, Mr. Blades, well played.

Reader Jonathan shot us an email and this photo evidence today to let us know that the replacement Big Daddy figures 2K promised back in August have started showing up on doorsteps. While they don't have any Little Sisters in tow, they are accompanied by fancy Bioshock art books, well worth the wait, I'd say. Check out a glimpse of the art book on the jump and another fancy in-focus one by reader DrcAnjel. More »

Kotakuite Louis S. gave us the heads up for this auction on Dutch eBay, with proceeds benefiting the World Wildlife Fund (as far as I can tell, which is not much, not reading Dutch): a 2.2 meter Big Daddy statue constructed out of fiberglass, weighing in at 44 kilos (around 97 lbs). Bidding ends on 8 am Sunday, CET and as of earlier this morning, bidding was up to a mere 600 Euros. If you can't live without one of these in your living room, bid here. I'm just glad creepy, life-sized fiberglass Little Sister isn't included. More »

Not to be outdone by the amazing cardboard Big Daddy costume, artist Rangsan Srisutarm has created this kick ass Big Daddy figure currently for sale on eBay. The listing proclaims it to be a one of a kind piece made entirely out of real engine parts and motorcycle parts. It's arc welded, polished with a wire brush and painted with a lacquer coating. This little Big Daddy stands nineteen inches tall and weighs a whopping thirty pounds. The cost stands now at a rather pricey $300 or you could "Buy it Now" for $400. That plus the (I'm sure) expensive cost for shipping puts it well out of my price range, but it sure is cool to look at. More »

Nothing makes my weekend complete like a terrifically crappy game related costume. This cardboard, tin foil and masking tape Big Daddy costume takes it's place among other scintillating stars of the cosplay Hall of Shame along with Chubby Kratos, naked Pikachu and other luminaries. Still, it's pretty hilariously awesome and the guy who made it obviously had tongue placed firmly in cheek while he was making it. At least I hope he did. More »

What would a weekend be without a slavishly devoted fanboy style post by me concerning BioShock? A new gameplay video has floated to the surface and is currently being hosted by GameSpot. Creator Ken Levine is on hand to talk more about the genetically mutating plasmids and the inner workings of Rapture. More »

It's been a while since I've seen a game which hasn't come out yet inspire so much excitement in people (not counting established franchise games, of course). The hub bub surrounding the eventual debut of BioShock has given birth to all kinds of creativity. The BioShock community site The Cult of Rapture is well deserved of it's name and allowed anticipating fans to vote on the contents of the LE box set, design the cover for said set and opened a section on their forums dedicated to fan art. This awesome image however, doesn't come from Cult of Rapture, but rather from artist, Rhall on his DeviantArt page. More »

In this clip, Content Producer Melissa Miller takes us through seven glorious minutes of Bioshock gameplay where we get to see the use of several different weapons and plasmids, Bioshock's instant genetic modification abilities. The highlight of the clip, as the title implies, is a battle with one of the old fashioned diving suit wearing Big Daddies. More »
