Yeah. I loved Bioshock. I played it through on the PC, 360, and on the PS3, and I loved it each time.
However, all of the info I've seen on Bioshock 2 seems like a cheap cash-in. It doesn't innovate beyond the original Bioshock. Then again, Bioshock wasn't that innovative (play Thief II, Deus Ex, or System Shock 2, please)
Currently playing the EUR version, and it's very good. For fans of the first one, they pretty much improve and fix every single thing from the first one. You get a lot more Ka-ching and materials from enemies. Patapons are cheaper to make (both in terms of Ka-ching and materials). You can "go back" to earlier forms of Patapon without having to delete a soldier from the squad. There's a "warning" during Fever mode that tells you if you're about to lose Fever.

Eternal Sonata ringing any bells?
Actually, if you look at the list of JRPGs on the 360, it's pretty slim. It only looks big in comparison to the Wii and PS3, but the DS and PSP have it owned.
"What makes us EPIC?"
Re-using the same engine over and over again.
Re-using the same gameplay concepts over and over again.
Releasing BS screenshots to the media and watching them drool.
Yep, that's EPIC for ya.
Cool cool. I'll definitely give this a spin. It's based on the Dreamcast version (which was the closest version to the arcades), so I'm eager to try it out.
@ HaloHead
You're right. It's ALL about sales. Forget being a gamer. It's ALL about teh sales. That's why the Wii is the best console and Mario Kart, Wii Sports, and Wii Fit are the best games of this generation.

Are you seriously brainwashed or something?
Nice. A lot sooner than I expected. The trailer looked very impressive, and it didn't look "Unreal Engine"-ish at all (and I mean that as a compliment).
Eh, I kinda respect Sony's public image. They're professional. It's a breath of fresh air compared to Nintendo ("flail your arms! Everyone loves the Wii!") and Microsoft ("our competition sucks more than us by 18%, according to our attach rate).
Wow. Looks good (looks slightly better than T5:DR on the PSP, which looks very nice). This, plus Soul Calibur PSP....can't wait.
Lookin' good. I can't wait to give this game a try. Japan's infrastructure will collapse for an entire week surrounding this game's release.
I'm sure Uncharted 2's online WILL be slapped on. It might be good. It might bad, but at least it'll shut up all the weak articles saying "Hmmmm. Is a single-player-only game really worth $60???" while the article writer turns around and lavishes praise upon Bioshock and Mass Effect.
@ edgeofblade
Lol. Cut the weak crap. You've been one of the most outspoken haters of Blu Ray ever since HD-DVD went belly up. Troll harder.
I'm a big fan of the PSP. It's my most-played platform right now, right before the PC and PS3. 2009 already has some sweet PSP games coming out (LittleBig Planet, Assassin's Creed, Disgaea 2, Monster Hunter Unite, etc) but I'm totally willing to play more games. :)

lolwut?
LOL @ wannabe RRoD fiasco. Not a single blog site, news site, or retail chain is reporting that the so-called "YLoD" is becoming more commonplace.
The first one was actually pretty good and the graphics weren't too bad (yup. Get past the first few levels until you get to Japan and the graphics looked good for a Wii launch title).
I hope they tighten up the controls and improve the sword fighting sequences in this one.
Like it or not, but the Wii HAS done some impressive things in the FPS genre, namely Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Metroid Prime 3, and the first Red Steel.
Nice. Yet another feather in Blu Ray's victory cap. Let the haters weep.
This isn't a preview. It's a rehash of info that has been available since 2005.
Please. "Wake" me up when there's actually new, concrete news about this game. And please make sure it's footage of the 360 version, not the PC version. Everyone knows the PC version will run just fine. The question remains how the 360 version will perform.
And I LOL at the people who fawn over Alan Wake then turn around and say "Huh...Heavy Rain. That looks boring. There's...
