Game Freaks 365 writes: "One of the highest rated games of this generation has finally gotten its sequel. BioShock 2 came out approximately 3 years after the original. In its absence, we have been playing other marvelous shooters, such as Halo 3, Killzone 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. A lot has been changing in the world of First-Person Shooters and indeed in Rapture as well. BioShock 2 takes place 10 years after the first game. The underwater city is a much more dangerous place, even though Andrew Ryan, the villain from the first game, is now dead."
BioShock is one of the most surprising games of this generation. First of all, it isn’t inspired by a real-life conflict, a film or another game series, but a moderately successful novel called Atlus Shrugged by Ayn Rand, which put forward a philosophy called Objectivism, or ‘rational selfishness’.
BioShock’s writer and Creative Director, Ken Levine, and his team are now working on BioShock Infinite, a departure from the dark, dystopian corridors of Rapture into the bright skies of Columbia, a floating city named after the female personification of the United States of America. The PS Blog recently had the chance to sit down with Ken to talk about the philosophies that underpinned the original BioShock and how, if at all, these are being applied to BioShock Infinite.
These days, truly great game idea are quite hard to come by. With all of the sequels, HD remakes, and general gaming bullshit that has come out lately, we really have to wade through these titles, and find the games that are actually good. After we cut through all the sludge and grime, we come upon games that have these really good ideas that we have been searching for all this time. The only problem is that when we find these games, they dont always live up to what they could have. There are three games in specific that fit the description of games that had great idea, but relatively bad execution.
A rather unique take on five games you may have missed when they were new. Well, they’re cheap now, and they’re still awesome
