Bioshock 2
Haven't seen a thread on this yet, so I thought I'd post up about it.
Now, I didn't particularly care for the gameplay in the first one, but the art and style was simply amazing. It put everything else to shame as far as style.
Now we have another one coming. Shots look VERY similar to the first game, so we'll have to wait and see if gameplay is different.
Here is the official site
Culr of Rapture
They have a soundtrack put together, and the music thread got me thinking about it. Here is a list of music for the second game.
The Boogie Man - Todd Rollins & his Orchestra
How Much Is That Doggie In The Window? - Patti Page
20th Century Blues - Noel Coward
Nightmare - Artie Shaw & His New Music
Daddy, Won't You Please Come Home? - Annette Hanshaw
Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition - Kay Kyser & His Orchestra
Dawn of a New Day - Horace Heidt & His Music Knights
Night and Day - Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra
My Heart Belongs To Daddy - Eddie Duchin & His Orchestra
Chasing Shadows - Quintette of the Hot Club of France
Jitterbug Waltz - Fats Waller & His Rhythm
I Cover The Waterfront - Connie Boswell
The Boogie Man - Todd Rollins & his Orchestra
How Much Is That Doggie In The Window? - Patti Page
20th Century Blues - Noel Coward
Nightmare - Artie Shaw & His New Music
Daddy, Won't You Please Come Home? - Annette Hanshaw
Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition - Kay Kyser & His Orchestra
Dawn of a New Day - Horace Heidt & His Music Knights
Night and Day - Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra
My Heart Belongs To Daddy - Eddie Duchin & His Orchestra
Chasing Shadows - Quintette of the Hot Club of France
Jitterbug Waltz - Fats Waller & His Rhythm
I Cover The Waterfront - Connie Boswell
Mental Strain At Dawn - Jack Purvis, trumpet solo, with rhythm accompaniment
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon - Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, with vocal by Martha Tilton
The Trouble With Me is You - Red McKenzie
The Skeleton In The Closet - Putney Dandridge
We Saw The Sea - Fred Astaire
La Mer - Django Reinhardt
And just for fun, these are some pictures that a guy named Steve made and posted on a different forum. I can't seem to find anything else by him, but he made these from inspiration from the first game and I found them rather entertaining. Have fun, ladies and gentlemen.

Re: Bioshock 2
From what I have been able top gather the gameplay will be similar to the firts one, albeit less trial and error and better integration betwenn weapons and powers. I'm quite looking forward to returning to rapture.

def. seconding this. I'm not a fan of such gameplay really but the art was just pure awesomeness!

Re: Bioshock 2
I was just wondering if there was a thread for this here. Just preordered it today for my PC. The game looks amazing, I simply cannot wait to play it.

Re: Bioshock 2
I've made some posts about the 2nd game at the blog. Thanks for the list of music! The last game had a fine selection of period songs. Looks like this one's got some pretty good ones as well.
