This game is a technical and mechanical improvement over the previous entry, and offers far more substance than the lackluster Bioshock Infinite that came after. Much like the middle child often is, B… Read more
Bioshock 2 is a somewhat controversial game. Few people seem to think that it’s as good as the original. Some despise it. Most seem to have either forgotten it or think it’s merely “pretty good” as op… Read more
Welcome back to Rapture. Bioshock 2 may not reinvent the wheel; it certainly doesn’t pack quite the same punch as its predecessor in terms of storytelling or a sense of wonder, but that doesn’t mean i… Read more

I think most of us remember that super long debate regarding best DLC in 2010. I didn't pay much attention to anything but the discussion in itself, as Bioshock 2 was already a lost game to me. I foun… Read more

When I first started playing Bioshock 2 I felt it wasn’t going to be good. I can’t really place why to be honest. The original Bioshock had a great way of delivering story and atmosphere, but I didn’t… Read more
The most interesting thing to me about Irrational Games taking the Bioshock name and sticking it on a game that takes place in a city in the sky is what it means for this game. When Bioshock 2 was ann… Read more
The best and worst thing that Bioshock 2 has going for it is that it is more of the same from the first one. On the one hand the mechanics are still solid and even improved upon in this game because y… Read more
To be perfectly honest I never climbed aboard the unending praise train for the original Bioshock released in 2007. While it tirelessly sucked at the teats of nearly every single professional video ga… Read more

Bioshock 2 was unnecessary, a forced sequel, 2K games attempt to create a franchise where it does not belong. The original Bioshock is a work of genius, an intimate exploration of a failed utopia and… Read more
I love the city of Rapture. A beautiful steam-punk noire metropolis built beneath the ocean, it is an Objectivist utopia in the vein of Raynd. The greatest virtue is to be a man to oneself, an individ… Read more
It seems everything I review lately is a sequel. The follow-up to the acclaimed Bioshock brings the player back to Rapture 10 years later as a prototype Big Daddy. One big thing to note, is that gener… Read more
