In this fourth podcast, Jeff tells us about the super important summer event that’s been keeping him busy (is it X-Men Origins: Wolverine?), Will explains how Fallout is like Metal Gear, and Lucas drinks from the precious “I ♥ Jim” mug. The dorks talk about new TV shows, bemoan the shallow ethnic diversity in superhero troupes, and debate the state of computer gaming. Prepare to be informed, amused, and offended.
The crazy kids over at the NeoGAF.com started a bit of a photoshop meme earlier this month: What would video game box art look like if it were done in the style of Criterion Collection DVD covers? Criterion Collection films are known for their striking cover designs; a fact that the folks over at NeoGAF took to heart, because some of the results are brilliant. Take this amazing BioShock cover from The GAF Collection for example.
Gametrailers.com has posted an exclusive first look at gameplay footage from BioShock 2. BioShock 2 is the sequel to 2K Games brilliant BioShock which hit consoles and PC in 2007. BioShock 2 sees the player return the underwater city of Rapture, but this time you aren’t alone. Soviet troops have stormed the undersea dystopia and are fighting the inhabitants of Rapture; as well as you, in an attempt to gain control of the genetic splicing technology, giving the USSR the upper hand in the Cold War. BioShock 2 hits the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC later this year.
A new teaser site for BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams, There’s Something in the Sea, has been making the rounds online. It features a few documents concerning the kidnapping of a little girl by a red-eyed monster. The site follows a teaser trailer that came on the disc of BioShock for the PlayStation 3.
Sea of Dreams is the first of what could be five sequels to 2007’s BioShock. The expectations of fans and of 2K, the game’s publisher, are quite high. BioShock is one of the most highly-rated PC and Xbox 360 games of recent years. It was praised for its immersive environments and intelligent gameplay, and was a commercial success. BioShock 2 is not being developed by 2K Boston and 2K Australia, who created the first BioShock, but by 2K Marin, a new studio seeded with staff from 2K Boston.
BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams is to be released for Windows, XBox 360, and PlayStation 3 in late 2009. Developer IG Fun is working on a version of BioShock for mobile devices that is also to be released later this year.
