I always thought it was stupid that Russia goes to war with the U.S. because of 1 dead body of a U.S. soldier. How don't they he acted alone? or what about the bodies of Makrov's other men that died during the whole shootout. It was cool and shocking but more brainless than a Michael Bay movie.
You can really tell Treyarch is going all out with this game. World at War was great, it was just the setting that sucked.
It is different though, it is just Bioshock in name but a whole new character, story, and setting. Plus it is being made by Irrational, they made Bioshock 1 not 2.
I just read the synopsis, sounds pretty damn wicked!
I can't get the dang trailer to play on the official site!
Edit: Got a link to the trailer if other peeps are having issues with it playing

I am pretty sure Ken said that it was a new, original IP.
You could have ALOT of fun in a Coed dorm room with that RC Spy Car...very tempting, LOL!
Ah, very well then. I actually had Battlefield Vietnam too. I loved the radio stations with all the 70's tunes. Hope they got some of that stuff back!
Yerp, Bioshock 1 was done by Irrational Games, who very briefly changed their name to 2k Boston, but then back to Irrational Games. Bioshock 2 was done by 2K Marin.
Why didn't EA just wait to include the Vietnam expansion with it, to create a "real" ultimate edition?
I loved the "Would you kindly?" plot twist, so unexpected and clever.
Single player better in BC1? Are you kidding? Bad Company 2's single player is still terrible but it is ages above the first. BC1 felt like huge maps with bots in them with a few cut scenes and bad jokes to tie it together. BC1 along with Unreal Tournament III are the worst single player modes out there!
I'd buy it, I am dying for a good ole' fashioned mindless, over the top, macho action game. Plus, you gotta love those one liners! With the exception of Uncharted's Nathan Drake, heroes these days suck...they are all boring, generic, and have a personality of a wall.
Borderlands
GTAIV
BioShock
BioShock 2

They all do the R2 to fire on the PS3.
It was alright, sort of disappointing though. The frame rate and super close camera during some of the combat is what bugged the hell out of me. I am gonna wait for more reviews and give it a pass for now. It only got a 7 from OXM UK, which is pretty damn lackluster.
I am not worried about it being overpowered. Chances are it will be on a timer or only go a certain range, explode if you hit a wall, and blow up if the enemy shoots it. Whenever a UAV goes up, I alone rack up major kills because it gives away the enemy. I am fine with just 1 RC Car running around killing 1-2 people as opposed to 5+ because of a UAV. I mean seriously, just think about it. The UAV causes a ton of "indirect" kills, the RC Car is only getting 1 or 2.
I am curious as hell to see what it is. Bioshock was bloody incredible!
I think Action Bastard has it right. The title is referring to the Joker and Arkham inmates taking control of the city, in addition offering a sort of continuity with the first game. I think it works really well. Reminds of the line in The Dark Knight where the Joker says "This town deserves a better class of criminal...and I'm gonna give it to em'. Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city" in that creepy voice.
Ditto! I buy a game for the single player. If it has good online then it is even more bang for my buck, but like you, I won't buy a game just for the online modes regardless of how good my friends say it is.
There are some games out there that I felt had great single player and multiplayer though...Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War, Uncharted 2, Red Dead Redempetion, GTAIV, Halo 3, Killzone 2.
I don't bother with games like Unreal Tournament 3, Battlefie...
Killzone 2's plot ain't nothing special either. It may have no plotholes but story and character wise is was just as paperthin. Rico is the biggest doosh nozzle ever and did you honestly care about Garza's death? KZ2 is fun to play online and off, the graphics kick major tooshy and the art style is sick, but storywise, yeah it pretty much sucks.
@dinorawrr. Yeah, I know they are different, and nope I didn't care about MW2's character's either. That is...
