The time has come to provide some small commentary on a pleasant memory that has recently been revived.
With the release of Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, I have once again reverted back to my teenage years catching, collecting, defeating, and even breeding Pokémon. This time however, I have so many new things to learn...
I was a bit worried when first I heard that 2k were making a sequel to Bioshock, mainly because I thought that the first game was so beautifully self contained that a sequel would be only a watered down cash grab, which would cause me to hunt down all the employees of 2k and punish them for ruining the memory of a wonderful game. As it stands, I was wrong. Bioshock 2 not only holds its own compared to the original storyline, it improves in game play quite a lot.
The story starts 1 year before the events of the original and we see our brave diving suit clad hero, subject Delta, is running to the rescue of his little sister, only to get bushwhacked by the villain of the piece, one Dr. Sophia Lamb who uses the hypnotise plasmid to make you play the losing side of a game of Russian roulette after stealing your ward away from you by explaining that the child is in fact her daughter Eleanor. Cue the bullet eating.
