Hello guys , this is the first post of the E-sports club blog , so it might be quite the historical moment.

Also, it's March . This means Bioshock 2 has been released for PC , PS3 and Xbox 360 .


If you're not familiar with Bioshock , Bioshock 2 brings players back to Rapture, an underwater city on the brink of collapse .


In Rapture , players have access to plasmids , which enables them to have superhuman abilities such as telekinesis , lightning bolts , and light enemies on fire with a snap of their fingers . Of course , there are guns as well .

You are Subject Delta , the very first Big Daddy in Rapture . The Little Sister you were bonded with was separated from you , and now you have to get her back .

Yes , this is you . That guy in the diving suit with a drill


So in this sequel to Bioshock , players can now simultaneously wield plasmids and weapons during combat . Imagine setting a splicer on fire with your left hand and then finishing him off with the shotgun with the right . Killing these genetically enhanced foes have never been this cool nor effective .


Bioshock 2 also introduces a multiplayer mode . There are the basic modes, such as Deathmatch , Team Deathmatch , CTF and such , but with more evolved names . Players play as splicers online , but get to be a Big Daddy if they can get their hands on a randomly spawned suit . This makes online play more interesting than any conventional FPS .


You have got to get this game .
