Ken Levine And Co. At Work On New X-Com Game?

The latest Official Xbox Mag is running a rumour that's been quietly - oh so quietly - doing the rounds for a few months now. That rumour concerns just what, exactly, 2K Boston (and I presume 2K Australia as well) are up to these days. With 2K Marin confirmed as the team behind BioShock 2, what could Ken Levine and the rest of the guys behind BioShock 1 be working on? Maybe a new X-Com game. Yes, X-Com. 2K quietly bought the rights to the series in 2007, so the rumour's at least got a solid footing, though we're still going to recommend you increase your daily intake of salt. If only because the thought of a new, official X-Com game is too awesome to mess around with.

"Save Often"

With retailer breaking the BioShock street date, some lucky bastards have picked up the game. Hate them. I sure do! When the highly anticipated first-person-shoot is finally released on August 21, remember one thing: Save. And save often. Don't believe me? Here's 2K Boston/2K Australia honcho Ken Levine (dude in pic) explaining why:

First of all, it's really one of those games where you'll want to save often — not because you die constantly, but because you're going to want to replay rooms to try things a different way.

Sound advice! Me, I'm giddy about this game, playing the demo loads and replaying the crap out of it. It's pretty spooky, isn't it? Not surprising that Levine says, "We took a lot of inspiration from The Shining when making the game." Kubrick would be proud.
