Forums - Gaming - Bioshock 2 Gets Release Date.

Underwater shooter Bioshock 2 has a release date: February 9th, 2010.

The game, published by Take 2, takes place a decade after Bioshock, but features the same ramshackle, underwater city of Rapture. In the single-player campaign, players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, and search for a nere-do-well who is capturing little girls from the surface of the earth and bringing them deep under the sea.

Unlike the first game, Bioshock 2 features multiplayer, with gamers assuming the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions. The multiplayer takes place during the fall of Rapture, so it'll be interesting to check out the design contrasts between single and multi-player. 

That release date is a little weird, eh? Seriously, February 9th?  I gotta wonder if it's a case of Bioshock 2 not being finished by the holiday season, or a case of Take 2 releasing the game a little late in the hope of capitalizing on a dearth of games coming out around that time... and kids' Christmas money and new game consoles!

In Hollywood, a sure sign of a terrible movie is a February or March release date. Obviously the same logic doesn't apply to gaming, but it got me thinking: In your mind, is there a time of year when bad games tend to come out? If so, when is it?

Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Wii Friend Code: 4094-4604-1880-6889

If you own multiple systems I don't think there is a time of the year for bad releases.

Too bad this game got pushed back till next year, hopefully the extra time will be used to make the game into another masterpiece.



There's no hype for this game at all. It can't outsell the original.

It's funny, if this was a PS3 or even a X360 exclusive, this thread would be several pages already.



Bad games tend to come out a lot in the summer
