BioShock 2 will have multiplayer

Alec Meer at Rock, Paper, Shotgun has the details.

I'm more than a bit skeptical that the various (and lovely) idiosyncrasies of the BioShock's singleplayer game will translate well, but there is some serious potential for originality here. If Digital Extremes uses the SP systems for acquiring weapons, health, etc. - instead of having you run over floating/bouncing/spinning models - it could even feel somewhat innovative.

In any event, the Unreal Engine is a hell of a platform, and the City of Rapture is one hell of an interesting space.

  3. We're all around, but life seems to be messing with everyone's gaming schedules. Plucky, however, finally has his office back, so he should be the turd that draws all the flies again.

    Are other games giving you the same problems, or is it just CoD5?

  4. I had that same problem with COD5 too. After every game I played, I wanted to just restart my computer and pretend like it never happened as well. Uninstalling it has actually fixed a lot of it. I would suggest trying that. And on that note, I probably will pick up MW2. Most likely just for the single player, but if anyone else gets it I'm sure we could manage to squeeze at least a little bit of fun out of it.
