Bioshock 2 is worrying me, seeing as they flaunt the multiplayer as the biggest selling point.

**smiling Assassin**

No. Bioshock 2, I do not want. Simply as it will actually make me cry.

Bioshock 1 was a thing of immense beauty, artistic vision, gorgeous design, characters, graphics, style, and grim vision. Made by a different studio.. I think it will lack that something the first one had.

And the multiplayer will be terrible. The guns are too simple, maybe if more were added and some of the firearm mechanics changed, then that would be good. Otherwise just Grenade-launcher spam.

Hopefully the multiplayer works out.

If the single player turns out to be a total S**t-fest, then I'll know I've wasted my $60. The continuation of the storyline is all I care about.

1. Production costs drop.

Yeah, I'm a friggin' genius. You're welcome.

Hearts of Iron III just came out and would like you to give it a call and maybe take it out to a nice steak dinner.

Wooo! Let me get my specialty oils and incense.

It's depressing though. Click on PC Reviews and narrow it down by Turn-based Strategy and look
at the downtime between titles.

There is a multiplayer emphasis? Damn. I haven't been keeping up. If they don't keep the great, immersive story in single player mode, I'll be very upset. I was already a bit afraid for the game when I heard that the protagonist was to be a big daddy. That seems like it would cut out a great deal of what made the first game great just so people can be the Master Chief of Bioshock.
