I have always loved that quote, it was sort of ominous as you first loaded up Bioshock Infinite, but as you play you begin to understand its meaning. Are you afraid to meet your maker? Are you afraid to stand before him with the wide amount of sins stacked before you, Booker has not lived a good life and has made many morally questionable decisions, but in the end he has no fear of such trivial things. Booker knows where he is going, and in truth the only thing to fear is that is front of you...

Sure it is safe for your kids, but why on earth does your kid have access to a "smart" phone. Also if you are going to let them "play" this why not just buy a 3DS for them and let them play a real Pokemon game that has a brain and knows what Pokemon is rather then this awful mess. Or, to better note if you are going to use Pokemon Go why not just avoid it and play a real Pokemon game instead. Just my opinion though I doubt anyone actually would agree with me.

It is possible that it would be 2K Marin, they developed Bioshock 2 so they have past experience with the franchise. I could be wrong but this seems like the most likely solution given just how incredible Bioshock 2 was, If this rumour turns out to be true we will likely find out what 2K has decided during E3.

But yet, Bioshock 2 was the defining example of just how to make a sequel improving on almost everything from the first. I would argue that Bioshock 2 is the best game in the franchise, if not the second best after Infinite, just my opinion. If 2K Marin is handeling the game then I don't feel concerns are necessary, we just need to hope they don't try to tack on any rubbish multiplayer.

I would perfectly happy if Ubisoft backflipped on their Assassin's Creed decision, after the terrible Assassin's Creed 3 they really stepped up with Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate all being great games, I was actually looking forward to a new game after Syndicate especially.

Could not agree more, but honestly the perfect time to buy the Wii U was in November of 2012 buying it for the future rather then that moment. Also I could argue that the Wii U has the best lineup of the current generation, and has offered more moments of fun then both my PlayStation 4 and Xbox One combined. Plus my Wii U game shelf has almost ninety games on it which goes against the argument of no games to play, especially in terms of exclusives.

I wish that Zelda U could be the perfect Zelda, but just from the footage and the trailer it is going to be a step backwards from Skyward Sword which was the pinnacle of Zelda storytelling and gameplay. The absence of motion controls is the games biggest notable flaw.

As much as I love Bioshock 2 I will admit it is not for everyone and as such you might not be a fan which is fine, we have the right to our varying opinions. It by the very nature of the game that makes it challenging to sometimes get into, but it was because of the whole Big Daddy element that I personally liked the game more.

I also really enjoyed Minerva's Den and I felt it told a really great story particularly in the exploration of mankind and the connection to technology that is capable of human emotion. The gameplay was also brilliant and truly expanded upon the evolution that was Bioshock 2. I am looking forward to re-exploring the game in the coming months and writing about it in full.

I will agree with you there, the ending of Bioshock did feature a really great twist which I never saw coming despite it being subtly obvious. This is perhaps the only element in which Bioshock does beat its sequel, although I love the better contained story and deeper sense of moral responsibility and sense of self in Bioshock 2. This is part of what made the sequel making your choices actually seem to matter in the long run unlike the first ones okay but overall disappointing conclusion bas...

I know many disagree with me but I feel Bioshock 2 did this in just about everyway. Not a popular belief I know but it is just my opinion, Bioshock was incredible but Bioshock 2 just expanded upon the original and pushed it to the next level.

I seriously hope not, mobile is one of the worst places to put any game that is not a strategy game. Sure all other games seem to sell but the controls are seriously irritating and this would just make Pokemon awful. I like the minor touch controls added in recent games but real buttons make Pokemon great along with most other games. It is bad enough we are getting a soulless game like Pokemon Go.

Actually I am in my 20's and have gone back and played many of the Sonic games made, personally I find a lot of the older games to be absolutely awful with a particular nod to the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I know a good game when I play it and the games on my list and ones that are truly great and the pinnacle of the Sonic experience.

I never played the Vita game but just from researching the differences I don't really think it is worth double dipping just for a version that is slightly better graphically, or on the big screen. The couple of missions the game has extra are nothing special so which case the Vita version is probably more worthwhile if you already have a copy or have played it there. Also I must note the extra missions in the PlayStation 4 version were add-on content for the Vita.version and if you don...

I have honestly never cared for the Final Fantasy games so if they were put on the Nintendo NX they would not really affect me. I have never been let down by a Nintendo system to date and see the consoles as more an investment to buy as soon as they are released and look forward excitedly to what comes in the future, such as I have done with the Wii U this generation.
However if I had to pick a game or games that would instantly sell me on the NX without even a second thought, it woul...

I got this game for Christmas with my Xbox One and after seeing a trailer or two I am looking forward to seeing if the game holds up for me, it certainly looks enjoyable to say the least.

Based on what I have played on Black Ops 3 the game is really a case of one step forward and two steps back. This newest game only just beats out Black Ops 2 which I honestly felt was the series low point which Ghosts redeemed. Black Ops 3 does have some nice ideas but apart from the cool running feature I think Ghosts is a much better game.

I would love to see The Simpsons Hit and Run be available on the PlayStation 4, such a great game that I really miss.

Bioshock 2 is the best game in the series, particularly for story and ending. I tear up every time I finish the game. But in reality they are all great games, I just hope Bioshock 2 would be included in this collection, fingers crossed.

Sadly as this news comes in I finally bought a copy of this game. Oh well I have Sunset Overdrive so I am happy.
