ig Daddy's back, and this time, he's you. Bioshock 2 brings players back to Rapture, the beautifully realized setting of the original Bioshock. This time, you take control of one of the diving suit-clad menaces that haunted your character in the first game, playing your part in an undersea civil war. Expect customization, moody atmosphere and a hearty helping of awesome. Provided this PlayStation 3/Xbox/PC release doesn't fall on its face at the last possible moment (as was the case with the first Bioshock), 2K Games should have a hit on their hands.
After a year's worth of controversy, Dante's Inferno finally hits store shelves. As big a travesty as this release may be for literature and philosophy majors, EA's latest may be able to save itself on the merits of its action gameplay.
