Veteran video game writer Susan O'Connor (Far Cry 2, BioShock, Gears Of War) has been involved in many games that, in both commercial success and narrative, have become some of the industry's top projects. In our latest Gamasutra feature, she shares her perspective on how writing in games can be improved, and how developers and writers can work more effectively together. One key, in O'Connor's view, is that the writer and developer must begin...  

2K named in CV - "no comment", says PR. BioShock developers 2K Boston and Australia have seemingly been outed as the studios behind a brand new X-Com game (again).Click here to read the full article  

After 2007's rave success, it's not surprising we're excited for BioShock 's follow-up act, subtitled Sea of Dreams. Even those skeptical that 2K Marin can satisfactorily reproduce the previous game's magic must admit there's plenty to be curious ...  

2K Games Boston, nee Irrational Games, released one of the most fully realized philosophical and artistic games ever made with 2007’s Bioshock, as much of a horror survival shooter as it was a parable of Randian libertarianism and a love letter to the design ethos of the early 1930’s. Today, it’s known not only for [...]  

I have never sprung for a special edition of game in my life, but that streak might come to an end when BioShock 2 hits shelves on Feb. 9, 2010. 2K has revealed details about the special edition, and it’s quite an impressive collection. The special edition includes: 13”x13” premium packaging with special slipcase and box cover art Three posters featuring vintage ads from Rapture A vinyl 180g LP featuring the orchestral score...

Alternating between empty environments and action-packed combat, this BioShock 2 trailer takes us on a chaotic whirlwind tour of Rapture and its various armaments. The underwater shooter sequel hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 9, with its single-player handled by 2K Marin and multiplayer done by Digital Extremes.

No surprise BioShock 2 picked up an M from the ESRB, but that's not to say its newly minted rating certificate isn't interesting. The writeup says we can expect F-bombs, mother F-bombs, the C-word and the past tense of "tweet." There are some minor spoilers in the writeup, I suppose, so I'll let you venture over there if you're interested in what the awesome displays of violence entail, as they most directly pertain to capabilities or plot...

Not to be overshadowed by BioWare's latest effort to depict Mass Effect 2 in one epic cover, 2K Games has released the box art for BioShock 2 -- and it doesn't win any points for originality or cleanliness. Just like the first game's cover, it features Big Daddy (this time he's you!) and Little Sister (not you). Only now, everything's behind cracked, grimy glass and the logo's covered in barnacles. Eww. You can lay your eyes on high-res...  

As Alice at Wonderlandblog points out, it's rare to see official merch as good as these Bioshock 2 EVE Hypos -- you usually have to find some fetishistic fan art. But this is an actual in-store tchotchke, and it's a corker. (via Wonderland)...  

It looks as if Matt Hazard's second outing will be just as satirical as his first, as these "Blood Bath and Beyond" screenshots include some rather recognizable facsimiles. The side-scrolling shooter is slated to hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a digital download during the first quarter of 2010, with Vicious Cycle once again developing.  

While most everyone I know has been heading off to get a flu shot, I’d personally rather get injected with a dose of Bioshock’s EVE serum instead of a supposedly dead H1N1 virus grown in chicken eggs. This Bioshock 2 EVE syringe is an exact replica of the nasty looking hypodermic implement found throughout the game.…  

Considering the dichotomy of the moral decisions (see: good or evil) offered to the silent hero of the original BioShock, many have wondered how the upcoming undersea adventure, BioShock 2, would take his actions in the first installment into account. Without a save game import feature (ala Mass Effect 2), how could the sequel register the player's decisions in the original? The answer was recently revealed by Bioshock 2's creative director...

"Siren Alley," as this is titled, gives you a two-minute glimpse of the weapons and plasmids you'll wield in the single-player mode of BioShock 2. The gameplay shows the firepower; the cinematics show a suspense factor to match. And pay attention to the final title card.

It's here: Everything's bigger, faster, louder -- in other words very sequel-y. But it's still about moral choices, people. You're not actually supposed to enjoy incinerating splicers with your awesome plasmids! The bits where you're actually underwater -- either you're outside, or Rapture is flooded -- look amazing. The trailer is focused intensively on combat, rather [...]  

Well let's see...the headline is an instruction ("Mimic BioShock's Body-Mod Splicing With Your Own EVE Hypodermic Needles") which means I should do exactly that based on Gizmodo's recommendation.

Seasteading didn’t quite work out for libertarian ideologue Andrew Ryan in BioShock, the creepy game released in 2007 to widespread acclaim. Ryan’s underwater utopia collapsed, thanks in part to genetic enhancements that gave superhuman powers to the denizens of Rapture, turning it into a saltwater kill zone. In BioShock 2, one of the most anticipated game [...]

The original Bioshock shocked many gamers worldwide when they were first faced with the decision to "Harvest" or "Rescue" the creepy/innocent Little Sisters in the game.

"BioShock 2" has a lot to live up to.

Earlier this month I spoke with [...]

Having already taken a brief tour of Rapture through the eyes of a Big Daddy a few months back, we were okay with the fact that BioShock 2 looked and seemed to play very much like the original game -- only this time encased in a huge pressurized diving suit. Now that we've played through a full area of the game, our initial assessment more or less holds up, but that's not to say there aren't several noteworthy -- and even surprising...  

Frenetic flaming fights get a lot more complicated when you’re carting one of Rapture’s creepy unchildren around, as the newly released BioShock 2 multiplayer trailer proves… but they still look a lot like regular ol’ Capture the Flag.

Gamespot has a lengthy hands-on preview of BioShock 2's story and multiplayer. A bit about one of the earlier environments they encountered: we had to make our way through an area called Ryan Amusements, a theme park filled with run-down animatronics displays. The park was originally designed to convince children that the outside world is a terrifying place and that they should never leave Rapture, conveying this message with scenes of...

The citizens of BioShock 2's undersea dystopia, Rapture, love them some ADAM -- especially when it's been freshly harvested by a Little Sister.

Creating a follow-up to what many consider the best game of 2007 is no easy feat. Neither is getting a sneak peek at that follow-up and then having to wait nearly four weeks to tell anyone about it. But, hey, rules are rules. At an event in San Francisco in early October, 2K Games gave an extended look at BioShock 2, due out Feb. 9.

If you diligently avoided last week's GameTrailers TV due to all the BioShock 2 spoilers, the trailer you see above can help provide you with some water-soaked gameplay -- sans all the direct information. We feel it's safe to tell you that 2K Games gave this clip the title "Siren Alley" because of an area in Rapture of the same name, a place that we never got to see the in the first game. Even if you don't watch the video above, you should...

by: Charles HusemannNEWS - Here's the new trailer for Bioshock 2 which presents you with a nice montage of combat from the game.  I'm starting to warm up to the game a bit although the concept of playing a Big Daddy for the entire game has me a bit concerned as I'm not sure I want to play a lumbering guy in a dive suit the entire game.  I do like how they are amping up the number of bad guys on screen to offset the amount of firepower you...

I really hope Bioshock 2 is bad. Not just because I think it ruins an already perfect gaming experience that Bioshock created, but also so I don't go completely broke in February.
