Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Impressions: That Sinking Feeling
Bioshock didn't excel as a shooter. It excelled as a narrative, Rapture acting as a living, breathing story. So it's a little strange seeing part of the game reduced to a standard multiplayer shooter.

You'll Never Guess What Platforms BioShock 2 Is "Destined For"
While the first BioShock was a timed Microsoft exclusive, appearing on 360 and PC looong before it did on PS3, for the game's sequel, all bets are off. Confirming this for anyone who couldn't already figure it out for themselves today has been 2K, who told GameSpot that "BioShock 2 is destined for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms". Sorry, Wii owners! Course, there's nothing stopping Microsoft throwing a few million at 2K for a month or two of exclusivity in the meantime - just like they did with Rock Band 2 - but even if they do, there shouldn't be the agonising wait for PS3 owners that there was first time around.

BioShock 2 Trailer, Now In Shimmering High Definition
It was kind of an anti-climax to see the first BioShock 2 trailer as a piece of user-generated s-s-shaky cam. Ruined the mood. The breezy ambience. So let's all pretend we never saw the shitty version, and instead, pretend this proper version of the trailer is all new. One thing's for sure seeing it in a higher resolution; that little sister's not so little anymore.

Is This The First BioShock 2 Trailer?
The freshly-released PS3 version of BioShock has a little treat tucked away within; it (seemingly) includes the first trailer for BioShock 2. Watch it above (though be warned, it's in s-s-s-s-s-hhhaky cam). If legit, the game's called BioShock 2: Sea Of Dreams, and if we were forced to give our $0.02 worth, we'd say that little sister doesn't look so little anymore. We'll no doubt see a better quality version of this sometime soon (or can at least confirm this is real, since there's always an element of doubt when it comes to s-s-s-s-haky cams); we'll update when we do More »

Rumor: BioShock 2 Bound For PlayStation 3 (and Wii?)
Job listings for the 2K Marin-led sequel to BioShock hint rather heavily that the sequel (prequel?) will be coming to more than just the Xbox 360 and PC. The team at 2K are looking for a Senior Designer, noting that "Playstation3 experience is required." Also preferred? Unreal Engine 3 experience. BioShock 2 was officially announced last month with a pre-holiday 2009 release date, giving us plenty of time for rumor, speculation and console fanboy pissing matches. More »

Ken Levine Still Involved In BioShock 2
With BioShock 2 in the hands of 2K Marin, and no longer at 2K Boston and 2K Australia, many of us were left wondering if designer and BioShock face Ken Levine would be working on the title. It would appear that he will be, in some capacity, at least, according to Take-Two CEO Ben Feder. He said today that Levine is "a terrific asset to the company and a brilliant game developer" and confirmed, in a roundabout way, that he'd be involved. More »

BioShock 2 Is Very Official, Dated For Q4 2009
Take-Two Interactive announced today that BioShock 2 was officially in the works, under the development wing of the recently formed 2K Marin studio. The sequel—rumored to actually be a prequel—to the Xbox 360 and PC shooter is planned for a fourth-quarter fiscal 2009 release date. Take-Two's fiscal year ends October 31, so expect it to hit unspecified platforms (read: Xbox 360) before the '09 holidays. More »
