Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water

Now, I know I’ve been gone for some time, but what’s up with there being no BioShock 2 article on the site? It’s not just on this site either. There is a lack of official information about BioShock 2 on all sites that I visit. So I figured I would piece together this preview with all the info I have collected thus far. The most important bit of info is the official release date. It is due for release on November 3, 2009 in North America.
This will be a complete different story from the first one, as the player will take the role of the first Big Daddy ever created in Rapture. This Big Daddy has superior speed and intelligence in comparison to the other Big Daddies. Because of this the player will be able to use the Big Daddy’s drill and rivet gun as weapons. However, as in all games, even the drill has its limits. It will overheat if used continuously. The rivet gun will have several types of ammo, just as in the first game.
It’s Good To Be The King

Summer is usually known as a slow time in regards to new video game releases. I recently found out about an upcoming release that has me looking forward to July. King of Fighters XII debuts on the Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 on July 16, 2009. This new installment of the franchise boasts some beautifully hand drawn 2d sprites. However due to the time it took developers to make the sprites, there are only 20 playable characters, the lowest number ever in any game of the series. It’s a trade off, but in a trade of quality versus quanity, I’ll take quality everytime.
