Holy Shit, It’s BioShock Infinite!
Oh, wowzers!
A short while ago, Ken Levine (the master behind the original BioShock) and his team at Irrational Games well and truly blew the lid off their next major project. Although we knew an announcement of some description was due, what exactly the world was about to see has remained a mystery. Until now, that is. BioShock is back, but unlike its direct sequel from earlier on this year, the franchise’s true Big Daddy is back on board.
I didn’t expect Ken Levine to create another BioShock game, and I certainly didn’t expect any future BioShock games to totally re-invent everything we know about the series thus far. Perhaps with Levine and Irrational back at the helm, I probably should have.
It’s out in 2012 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but I want it now; even if that means waving goodbye to an old friend. In the mean time, there’s an excellent trailer available to whet your appetite.

X-COM to be Developed by Irrational’s Red-Headed Stepchild
Guess what!
There is going to be a new X-COM game!
And they’ve taken the hyphen out so it’s just XCOM now!
And it’s going to be developed by the very people we all thought it would!
Except not! At all! Nor will it resemble past X-COMs in any way, shape, or form!
Update: it transpires that XCOM is to be developed by Irrational’s other red-headed stepchild, 2K Australia.
What’s Your Favourite?
Day dreaming, I was trying to remember my favourite gaming moment. There weren’t any specific requirements, but I was finding it difficult. After playing videogames for over fifteen years, you would think countless memorable moments would pop into your conscience. I have no idea how many games I’ve played, it would be difficult to quantify. No doubt several hundred, but worrying that I cannot think of a favourite amidst the plethora of quality titles I have had the joy of playing…
To Review, Or Not To Review
After playing Bioshock 2 for several hours, a day before its launch, my friend decided to write a review for it (which was very good I might add). Subsequently, an argument ensued between both of us today where I suggested that the review of a game should not be written until it has been entirely completed…
No!
But YES.
Maybe.
O Fortuna that Rock, Paper, Shotgun reports this interesting piece of news…
2K Boston, formerly known as Irrational Games (System Shock 2, Bioshock, Freedom Force, etc) is no longer 2K Boston. It is formerly 2K Boston! It is now known as… Irrational Games. Apparently 2K realized that there’s a bit of a legacy from Irrational, and simply naming all its wholly-owned studios after their home cities is dumb.
Room With A Grue
Few things are more immersive than visiting a fully realized universe. This doesn’t mean we aren’t looking for great story or boffo gameplay. But often as not, the world that keeps us playing, drawn to that altered state that only gaming can provide.
