Overall, I’d give this new Bioshock 2 DLC a Big Daddy Thumbs Up! I hate myself so much right now. In fact, I found it comforting – kind of like slipping into a warm bathysphere (I CAN’T STOP OMG). The somewhat overly familiar plot and game play, however, didn’t bother me in the slightest. If I had to say anything negative about Minerva’s Den – like if someone held a rivet gun to my head (JESUS KIALA STOP IT), I’d say the capture/defend of the Little Girls is just not something I ever enjoyed doing and the dearth of mini turrets and trap rivets makes harvesting them for Adam much more appealing than saving them even though I cry a little on the inside every time I do it. Anyway, “The Thinker” awakens or something which I guess is what happens when evil scientists living in a dystopia drink too much Hop Up Soda and abuse the splicing genes! Amirite? So, as with all the other Bioshock plots, two men are fighting for control of Rapture and you’re caught in the middle with a giant drill and a new plasmid. Porter’s scientific creation is called “The Thinker” which is a supercomputer gone a wee bit rogue (thanks to some kind of disagreement between Porter and his business partner Reed Wahl over how it will be used).

According to the wiki backstory, Sigma was originally sent to the secret computing hub of Rapture to save little sisters only to be left for dead until fortuitously woken up by the voice of Charles Milton Porter, the creative genius behind the technology keeping Rapture running um…NOT SMOOTHLY AT ALL. Minerva’s Den has you playing a Big Daddy again – this time around he’s called Subject Sigma (hello Greek name used most often in mathematics, science and engineering! Also hello Wikipedia!). This loyalty was rewarded with a perfectly constructed stand alone game, a Turing-esque storyline, and a plot twist I actually didn’t see coming. The game takes place in the dystopian underwater city of Rapture, eight years after the events of. It was released worldwide for PlayStation 3, Windows, and Xbox 360 on FebruFeral Interactive released an OS X version on March 30, 2012.

My love for Rapture knows no bounds however and there was very little I could do to stop myself from buying anything with the words “Bio”or “Shock” in it. BioShock 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by 2K Marin and published by 2K Games. Do you guys see what I did there? With “rapture”? Anyway.Īfter the constant disappointment of the Fallout 3 expansion games and the previous Bioshock multiplayer DLC, I’ve been super wary of spending my hard earned Microsoft points on possibly shitty game add ons. You know what I did for Labor Day? I played the new Bioshock 2 DLC ALL DAY LONG and it was SO MUCH RAPTUROUS FUN.
